- In this 9-minute tutorial, you will learn everything you need to know to set your first copper rivet. No need to be intimidated by these rivets! In fact, I bet that after you give them a try you'll enjoy them as much as I do. I appreciate you watching, and as always, I invite you to let me know in the comments if this was helpful and tell me what you'd like to see in future videos. Thanks again for watching!
With Gratitude,

By the way, the rivet setting tools I used here are from Buckle Guy (an affiliate partner). I've tried several setters and these seem to work exceptionally well. Here's the link if you'd like to check them out! bit.ly/3rv2vem

Tanner. A couple of things. Being a graphic designer, a drawing or diagram is successful if it conveys an idea. Your drawings are perfect for that no matter how you think they look. It helps to understand exactly what is going on with a diagram. Excellent. Also, the doming tool is something I have never seen before. Watched a lot of copper rivet demo videos. Your video is the first I have seen shape the other side of the rivet. Again. Terrific.
Thank you, Bruce-- that means so much. I love to hear that my teaching style works for you! I really appreciate your support and kind words. Cheers, my friend!
I agree. I’ve never heard of doming the back, or thought of peeling back and forth btw hammer and peeling tool. Is there another way to make a leather washer if I don’t have a large punch like your 5/8th” punch?

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

So pleasing to listen to your clear, well spoken instruction. It seems as if you are comfortable just being yourself speaking rather than having a youtuber tone and intro. Refreshing ... Thank you!
Reminded me of senior school in the mid 60's when they taught you useful metalwork and joinery skills that you remember and use for the rest of your life 👍
I loved high school shop classes! Definitely some very well-spent hours at school! Thank you so much for watching!
You're a thorough teacher. You produce clean work
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I appreciate you watching!
I watched my dad when I was a kid do this stuff,he made harness from small to large ,I still have some of his stuff copper rivits and some tools,lord I miss those days,seems no one even cares about the old ways anymore,
Best video on copper rivets Period. THANK YOU!
Copper and leather, peas and pods. 👌🏼
Ooh, I agree! 🤩
Thanks for the video! Surprising how even the simple things like rivets need to be explained to beginners like me! Much appreciated!
Copper rivets were also used by bicycle saddle makers (Brooks still uses them). They typically joined the back of the saddle to the frame. When riders legs get tired, you can take a break by sliding back on the saddle so you are using different muscles. You could tell when riders were getting fatigued when they would "ride the rivets". Sorry, just a little cycling and leather trivia.
Oh man, I love it! Cycling has been a huge part of my life (mostly mountain biking), but I’ve never heard “riding the rivets”! So interesting!
I guess you really do learn something new everyday. I have been using copper rivets on my leather craft for a while. But i did not know you could dome the flat side of the rivet. So thank you for the unique info. Keep it up.
Same.
Those are clearly the best tool set for the task-- soooo many Chinesium tools on Amazon and ebay and the reviews portray them badly.
These tools he uses appear to be first-rate.
Good job, You made everything perfect, with no boring long no needed talks. Thanks and wish you good luck.
Thanks for that. I didn't know the leather washers served a functional purpose. I put them in the first tote bag I made because I had seen it done elsewhere and liked the look. Glad to know they have a function. Reviewing that first tote bag, I had used size 9 rivets because I didn't realize there were other sizes. LOL That was hard work. I prefer to use 14s now (with the 3-part setting tools demonstrated). Aren't learning curves fun!
My pleasure! I’d love to see you’re with sometime! If you’re on Instagram, send a message sometime!
@@ClaridgeLeather Done! Thanks for your response.
You come up with some of the best videos
Yours are short, clear, concise and you speak clearly to educate us whom are not native English speakers.

Many greetings!
Tanner, one thing that I like to do on our leather aprons is place all the burrs the same way. What I mean is, if you look at the burr you can tell which way it was stamped out of a sheet of copper. The look and feel is different from side to side.
I hear you on that! A little detail that makes us happy, right? I love the aprons you all make!
So assuming my old eyes can see the difference, which side do you put against the leather? Or do you mean to just be consistent?
@@bagramdave883 in the big picture it does not matter . For me, it’s a mater of consistency like you mentioned.
@@pmelchman PS. Where can I see some of your aprons?

This is such a good tutorial. Your teaching style is A++ so easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
I love your laidback style of instruction. You are able to explain the steps in detail without dragging it out. That sir is a skill most people on RUclips do not have. I am new to leather craft and your content is extremely helpful. I also find the time to get out in the garage after the family goes to bed. Keep up the fabulous work.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you’re here! Enjoy those nights in the garage (and especially enjoy your family)! I’m right there with ya!
You sir are a phenomenal teacher. Poignant, direct without being authoritative, knowledgeable and sincere.
Makes me appreciate the craft even more.
I found a couple boxes of copper rivets my grandfather had. He tanned buckskins and worked with leather. I didn't have a clue how the rivets worked. Thank you for the insight!
Thanks for the post! Marysville , MT here!!! Well that’s where I grew up and lived 22 years😊
You have an accuracy and an easy way about your teaching that is helpful, admired and appreciated.
Thank you, John! I appreciate that so much! Thank you for watching!
Yes..I'm a new fan of your channel. Very informative and clear instructions.
Hi. Great stuff for someone in need of tuition like me! Thanks, you’re a good teacher. 👍🇬🇧
Excellent work. I appreciate your dedication to share your skills.
Much appreciated.
From a viewer in Somalia.
That's awesome! I love to craft & learn about new tools & techniques. Great tutorial. Now I need to go buy me a kit!
I've never seen doming the head of the rivet before! That's brilliant! Thank you Tanner, for sharing your knowledge. You explain things very clearly and I appreciate that!
great video. very informative. i have watched a bunch of videos where they used rivets in the project and i always wanted to try it, but had no clue on the rivets or tools i would need. thank you for sharing. this video was a huge help.
Hi Mr. Tanner, here from Brazil i say, your teaching method is very cool. Thanks
Thanks for sharing you knowledge..you are a very good teacher. You explain very well..
I enjoy watching your videos. And I learn a lot from it..
Please keep doing the videos. You do it at the right pace and with simple enough instructions that it really makes sense. I am about to do my first tote. Thanks
Awesome video! Love me some copper rivets!!!
You are a very good teacher.
just started watching more of your videos, so well made and very well explained. Thank you so much for taking the time!!
First of your videos I've seen and wondered why it was dark outside and yet you weren't British but you strangely answered all my questions and got subbed. Good video by the way.
Had to come back and edit, I don't think I've seen such a consistently nice comment section either.
Thank you! That means so much to me! It’s always dark because the leatherwork happens when the kids are tucked into bed! It’s a late-night affair, normally. 😀 I really appreciate you watching and leaving a nice comment- welcome, and keep in touch! -Tanner
This is my first video to watch, and it's fascinating.
Awesome! Welcome! 🙏🏼
Loved your video! You're an excellent teacher and sound like a very decent guy!👍
That was really very helpful. Thank you so much for posting this.
Excellent job. You’re a teacher at heart. I love it.
Thanks for explaining how you complete your leather work. I have found your videos to be very interesting. Thanks for your time.
That’s so great to hear, Tom! I really appreciate you watching!
Enjoyed your video. Clear and concise. Haven't tried rivets yet. But I will try now.
Love the washer idea!!! Thanks Tanner!
Right on! Wish it were my original idea... but it's a good idea to steal and use :)
great video tanner! very informative thanks
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Tanner, excellent video. You are a nice teacher!!!. Thanks.
Could you please make a video on how to put button stud?
Regards from Canada
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love to see people making quality things that are functional and will stand the test of time. Cheers, Rob.( from Tasmania)
Thank you, Rob! I really appreciate you watching!
Video's like this one have made my journey into leather crafting much more enjoyable and my products more professional and durable. Tanner I want to personally thank youfor all you give to the leather crafters of the world! Please continue to teach and inspire us.
Very well spoken and informative tutorial. You should be an instructor somewhere. Very easy to follow. Blessings on you and your family. Thanx. Old saddle maker Tom
Thanks so much, Tom! I appreciate you watching! I'd love to see you make a saddle some day...
Great video! The Cooper rivers are beautiful.
Thanks so much, Tanner!
My pleasure-- thanks so much for all your support!
Thank you so much for this very thorough video!
Love the video . Yeah I do relate to you; Wife, Kids and dishes 😁 no shame my Brother . Just started this Leather craft hobby.
I am a huge fan of the copper and brass rivets, and I always learn something new watching other makers. Thank you!
So glad you found the video- thanks for watching! I am a big fan of these rivets as well!
Love it! Copper Rivers look so clean 👌🏼
Thanks, Will!
Excellent video, Tanner. Your shop looks so nice
Thanks so much, my friend!
I can’t explain how appreciative I am that you are a detailed visual learner as well as I am. Thank you so so much. You’re the very first one that genuinely provides my “but why’s” visually 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you, Gabriella! 🙏🏼
Great video man. I've watched quite a few copper rivet videos and i think your did the best job of explaining, not only, all the steps, but the reasons why. Thank you
That means a ton, Nate! Thanks so much for watching! -Tanner
Your video is the only one I've seen that's clear and easy to understand for someone like me. I'm looking to place copper rivets in all my shoes (one rivet per shoe) to make them suitable for "grounding" or "earthing" as you may have heard it called. Have you ever done anything like that, and if so could you offer some pointers or tips to help me? I'm not sure what size rivets to buy, what tools I should get (just to do a few shoes and then I'll be done with riveting).
Very helpful and informative. Well done video. Thank you.
I'm just starting out in leathercrafting and found this video while on a rabbit hole. Very well done and I subscribed hoping to learn more from your channel. 👍
Awesome!! Sometimes the rabbit hole isn’t all bad... 😅 Welcome!
@@ClaridgeLeather I've unexpectedly learned a lot in the last few weeks. Search for one specific thing, end up learning about dozens more following the "recommended videos." 😂
Awesomeness. Thanx for sharing your video. GBU
Hi loo I've your work you inspire me in this hobby I'm a maker by hart love making all kinds of stuff wish learn more about weather working from you seem like a great teacher thanks brother keep your great work up
Great informative instruction Tanner! Thank you!
Watching everything, professor. Grateful for your content!
Thank you so much, Otavio!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed your video
Excellent video!
Love your work mate.
Thank you for doing this videos. I've learned a lot and I'm using that stich you showed in a previous video. Looks awsome.
For the hole punch a good backer is the end grain on a chunk of wood. Like a 4x4 block or whatever works. Easy on the tools
Thanks a lot ~~!
I am happy to learn how to use tools.
I'm new to leather work, thank's man, you're awsome!!
Happy to help! Cheers!!
I would love to see a video on drying techniques
Great content! Subscribed a while back and I keep finding more gems. Thanks for sharing your passion, it's helping me get back into the craft.
The Doming tool is goot to make sure the edge of the rivet stays below the surface. I've had jeans with un-domed rivets on the pockets, and sometimes caught my fingernail underneath the rivet edge. If it were domed, the sharp edge would have been set below the surface and wouldn't catch things.
Great point! Thanks, David!
thanks for the info
You have me interested. Liked and subbed! 😊
Thanks for a clear and concise video. You showed this can be done with minimal tools.
Great video and great explanation, thank you.
Really useful - thanks for that. You've simplified a whole project!
Beautiful! I'm a metal worker and fully appreciate your use of copper rivets (with a few extra steps).
Really well portrayed, you packed a lot of great data into 9 minutes.
I have several many films on this topic, you were kind that you linked or mentioned to the best tools and rivets as well.
Thanks for your videos
Great information thank you
Very good information thanks
Very interesting to watch and learn. Thank you so much for taking time to make these for us.
Great video my fellow craftsman you are a good teacher, thank you .Old Mountain Man firekeeper!
Great Video Thanks
Alas large brass rivets , the beast to cut .
Thanks for the info. Really enjoyed the video. Have a good weekend. Davin
So glad you enjoyed it- have a great one, Davin!
I also Love copper rivets! I might add that they have many uses in woodworking too such as securing the joints of calipers, compasses, etc. The trick to getting the proper tension is to place a thin sheet metal shim with a slot in it so you can remove it, between the wood parts when riveting the parts together, when you pull out the shim the parts will be loose and movable, by hammering the rivet you can increase the tension to where you want it for your purpose. I suppose this would also work for metal parts, but I use it primarily for wood and the copper looks really good with stained and finished hardwoods.
Ah yes! Great point, Sam! That’s a great trick, using a shim to maintain some clearance for some pivot action! Thank you!
love your videos, can you discuss creasers - specifically heating creasers/ saddlers creaser plz? thank u!!
Thank you so much for the video lesson in details. I was not so sure of copper riveting for so long. Now I fully understand how the thing works. Thank you again !!
You could make a metal blank to drop in the square hole in your anvil drill a hole in it to receive your doming tool. Then you can put your formed rivet in it when you upset the large side of the rivet. Just a thought very nicely and clearly demonstrated, good use of whiteboard. Followed by practical demo. Use of language visuals and practical. Best teaching method! Hear See Touch nearly.😀
Excellent explanation…clear description on how rivets are used. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up with the good work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
great video, Ive always loved copper, annealed it makes a good choice with leather. . made a copper rivet pirates chest . those rivets have a captive washer, nice.
Great video thank you, need to make some belts.
This is nice. I'm thinking about using more rivets than I have been.
Excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍
Keep making these great videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoy them!
Great videos 👍
Tanner is literally the coolest name for a leatherworker.
If my parents only knew... 😄
Excellent demo. Looking forward to more.
Thank you, Bryan! More on the way. Keep in touch, and thank you for watching! -Tanner
