Rivets, Snaps and Eyelets Oh My

Love love love this tool. This is the Craftool Hand Press from Tandy. This little guy is going to make setting rivets, snaps, eyelets & spots a breeze. I just got finished playing with it for the first time and already I am hooked. I played around setting rivets and snaps this morning and it's so easy and sets them beautifully. Gone are my days of hand setting and crushing settings. I plan on using it on all my leather projects and I have already dreamed up other uses for it.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it!

Looking for a quick way to make the perfect Bezel? Go to your local hardware store and get a piece of pipe, while you are there pick up a pipe cutter for under $10.00 . Check out the great bezel you can make with very little time or experience.

Dichroic glass in the bottom piece was made by Susan Philpot of Las Vegas
