Members Sylvia Posted November 12, 2014 Members Report Posted November 12, 2014 Ok good. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members silverbullet Posted November 15, 2014 Members Report Posted November 15, 2014 Wow I want one set too , I have a tough time to. Seems I always get them bent up or twisted . Thanks Gary Quote
Members meagain Posted November 15, 2014 Members Report Posted November 15, 2014 Well I have the press and still get them messed up. The long stem smashes into the protruding rim of the stemless piece. I've yet to figure out exactly why. Quote
Members Sylvia Posted November 15, 2014 Members Report Posted November 15, 2014 Too long of a stem will cause you problems. Too big of a hole will cause you problems.

Members meagain Posted November 15, 2014 Members Report Posted November 15, 2014 I think it's just not lining up right because the stem isn't going INTO the hole. It's smashing down the rim that surrounds the hole in the stemless part of the rivet. Maybe my leather is too thick. Quote
Members Sylvia Posted November 15, 2014 Members Report Posted November 15, 2014 that very well could be. try creating a divot somehow. See if that helps Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members JanC Posted November 17, 2014 Members Report Posted November 17, 2014 Are they still offering up a package for us leather workers? Quote

Members dq7133 Posted December 15, 2015 Members Report Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Anyone running into issues with the Gold Star rivet dies leaving pressure marks on the leather? The bottom die I received is spring loaded and the top die has a rubber gasket. Both the spring loaded portion on the bottom and the rubber gasket on the top leave impressions on the leather.

I've only had issues with that when I was trying to rivet leather that was too thick. Another issue could be that you have the handle adjusted for a longer throw causing it to reach into the leather. Do you want to post a photo so others can take a look? Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
