Description: ► Buy my patterns and leather goods here: etsy.com/shop/LeodisLeather ► For more information see: ianatkinson.net/leather/videos.htm In this video we are taking a look at how to set traditional copper or brass saddlers' rivets. There is an overview of the tools used as well as examples of the different finishes which can be achieved. One thing I did forget to mention was that the washers often have a smoother side and a side which is rougher or has a slight burr; be sure to place the best side facing upwards for the neatest finish.
