Thanks for the kind comments.  This has been fun.  Several friends have offered to help with providing the caps, but not much else . . . .

Kiwican,

I take a pliers and open the crimped part of the cap until it is flat  Then use a piece of pipe to further flatten and true the crimped part.  Then punch a hole in the fob.  I cut the leather round I punched out down to fit inside the back of the cap and then assemble it with contact cement, stitch and burnish.

I was thinking of doing something exactly like this last week as Aussies we love a good beer or two or three.......... They look good I love the caps different countries have, Ours are not the fanciest but should still come out ok
