I've joined but I haven't posted yet, it's on the to-do list haha I know I'll have to to get cleared!
Meanwhile I've been screwing up my butt plate, oops....
Well that was easy, this should be a breeze...
...going well so far...
...looking goooood....but oh wait, here it goes horribly wrong Basically I found a snap tool on my bro's leather punch so I thought I'd try installing the butt snaps, but the tool - I later realised - was too small. I was struggling to get the 2 halves to lock together properly, so first I tried carving a wee bevel...
That didn't work so I tried applying heat....ohhhh this was so foolish. I applied too much heat and suddenly my butt went all floppy and I had to hurriedly try to get it back into vaguely the right shape. Pretty gutting really as I'd previously applied heat to the same part to give it more of a curve and it had gone really well! So it's a bit fudged but I got it together in the end and it should look fine when it's on...
