Rawhide Mallet
For your veg tan leathers
this is a nice tool - it's essentially a wood burner that's set to the
right temperature range for leather.
Comes with a chisel point
so you can try to create a better looking blue marlin than Charlie did,
and the point unscrews
so you can put in one of
the other 5 points that come with the iron: heart, square, star,
circle, and diamond.
You can see how the star
shape branded into the leather in the bottom left picture.
Brander also comes with
a folding stand and it has a handy on/off switch in the cord.
Heats up to working temp
in about 5 minutes.
Use caution - this thing
will burn you. Extra brands available below
Leather Branding Iron with
6 tips $18, USA postage includedRivet Setting Tool
for use with post rivets or tubular rivets (not for use with brass
two-part rapid rivets - scroll down a bit for that tool).
Punch a hole in the leather,
put the post rivet through, putthe pin end of this tool in the throat
of the rivet, give it a good whack with the mallet, and the
end of the rivet splits
into six flower petal sort of things, holds the leather quite well.
These setting tools are hardened steel and have a long life span -
to make them last you MUST
use a nylon or rawhide mallet - and a cutting
board/pounding pad. $15 each, USA shipping included.
