Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Does anyone have a thread showing plastic snap plates being made the regular way without rivets (Vern) or nylon webbing? Since Stutkatrooper's photos aren't available I'm looking for a howto or just the photos of regular snap plates being made. Aloha and thanks, -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt black Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you have no luck by morning I'll make a snap plate and take pics for you. Do you mean the method with the little punch that you get with the kit that you hit with a hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks Rob... yeah regular snaps with plastic tabs using a hammer and anvil is preferable. I don't want to perpetuate the vario pliers myth any more than it already is. Have a look in tips and tricks section What's that? -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 What's the vario pliers myth? That everyone needs them and they're awesome. Neither is true unless you put the occasional dritz brand snap into thin fabric. They suck for a) the heavy use needed for a TK build for any other type of snap other than dritz. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 What about Tony's tutorial? http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/snaps.html Those are of course awesome but I wanted something for and from FISD itself. I think Rob came through with what I was looking for Aloha and thanks all, -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
