Members Treed Posted October 21, 2013 Members Report Posted October 21, 2013 I have a setter that I picked up for a couple of dollars shown below. I have also set them with out the setter. I just back the rivet with metal and carefully pound the stud down onto the rivet usually in tight places that the setter can't get into. I have also used the technique that you have suggested. I just like the stud personally as I have gotten in a lot of repairs of holsters that belonged to dad, grandpa or other family members with sentimental value where snaps have failed because of years of use. I know that your holsters will be around for many generations of use. Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters
Members Josh Ashman Posted October 21, 2013 Author Members Report Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks Bobby, considering the life span of a well made holster you're even more right! I'll stop being a chicken and try new and better things! Quote
Members HiPowered Posted October 21, 2013 Members Report Posted October 21, 2013 Very nice! Could I ask which basketweave stamp you're using there? The pattern and depths are perfect! Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted October 22, 2013 Author Members Report Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks HiPowered, the stamp is a Craftool X511 that I've had for quite a while. It's stamped USA so that might help date it a little bit. Tandy still has them in their catalog and they range from $6 to $10 dollars depending on whether you're in their special club.
