Asmbly has recently acquired some tools for a new leather working area in the textiles shop, and I wanted to let everyone know what the tools are so that members can start to think about how they might use these in their projects.
To start, we have focused on getting tools that a leather worker might not have in their own kit, but can make the process faster or more fun. These tools will have their own dedicated space in textiles after the middle of November.
Note(*) - our setter is made by Buckleguy. We have acquired a few dies of some popular sizes. But it’s also possible you might need to acquire your own dies based on your project needs. If you get your own dies, you will want the BG standard tool attachment
Here are the links to other dies that would fit our setter
I’m going to hold off on figuring out what class, orientations, or open houses we might want to offer until we get the space set up. But thanks for bringing it up @JohnWickham !
If you are already experienced with leather-working, I would love to know who you are. Shoot me a DM to share more information. I’d love to get our experienced members lined up with folks who are interested in learning
Hi Steph, I’ve got these SS rivets and wondering if you know the capacity of the setter in terms of pressure. I’m seeting these with just a hammer and a light hammer but a setter would be more reliable and might not damage the head.
Additionally - the site can probably help you determine if the dies we’ve already gotten will work for your project, or if you need to acquire something different.
