Northmount Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Drill out the part of the post that is peened over. If you use a drill just a little larger than the post and go carefully, you can avoid damaging the leather. CTG Edited April 5, 2012 by northmount Quote
Members DoubleC Posted April 5, 2012 Members Report Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks CTG. I will do that. I'm such a dip sometimes...measure twice, cut once, measure twice RIVET once. Cheryl Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members Spence Posted April 5, 2012 Members Report Posted April 5, 2012 I've always had good luck taking a good pair of wire cutters and working at the peen. It has worked every time. I'm not confident enough to go the drill route. lol Quote Spence Mendoza, TX, USA
Members DoubleC Posted April 5, 2012 Members Report Posted April 5, 2012 I decided on carefully handled tack pullers not braced against the leather. Didn't hurt the leather but the rivets went flying no where to be found (except with bare feet).I figured small drill hole, power tool and me? Uh, not so much, LOL.
