Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 8, 2011 Members Report Posted January 8, 2011 I need a size 0 grommet, or an eyelet, that will work through a double thickness of 6/7 weight leather. Does such a creature exist? I m having no luck Thanks! dan Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members ramrod Posted January 10, 2011 Members Report Posted January 10, 2011 i don't know if this will help dan, but i needed some grommets that could be used on doubled 6 oz. leather. i called a local party tent supplier and she said that she had grommets that had a "neck" of about 1/2". i nevr got around to getting them from her, but they must be out there. do you have a tent rental company near you? it might be worth a google, too.

Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 13, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks for the idea ramrod. I sort of forgot I posted this. The day ended up saved by a combination of swivel knife, brass bar, and a french beveler. Iended up scoring the leather around the diameter of the grommet, compressing the leather fibers with a correctly sized brass rod, then beveling the center holse somewhat. The grommet sat in a little deep but thats OK for this instance. thanks again! Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
