Members LTC Posted April 28, 2014 Members Report Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) LTC your advice on how to use it was awesome! I never considered doing it that way. Thank you. oh good...i'm glad it makes sense and hope it helps you be able to set your snaps well...and safely. it takes a little to get the hang of it, but once you do, they will all look really nice and set correctly...

Members paprhangr Posted April 29, 2014 Members Report Posted April 29, 2014 FYI: the tandy press is on sale for about 1/2 price until end of month $100. my local store Nashville, doesn't have any but will honor price when it does show comes in stock. Quote
Members Tex Shooter Posted April 29, 2014 Members Report Posted April 29, 2014 I have a 1/2 ton arbor press that I bought in a garage sale for $10 bucks that had a home made line 20 snap die in it. If you use the right length for the leather thickness, it does the job perfectly. I set line 20 snaps in thin leather a lot and need to make grind jig to get the female rivet the right length. Right now I am just adding a extra thickness of leather and it sets it fine. -- Tex Quote Tex-Shooter - Winner of the 2003and 2004 Summer Nationals Slingshot Tournament. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Too soon old/too late smart -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt” Abraham Lincoln -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My YouTube Channel ----- slingshotbill's channel - YouTube
