|
|
I have been working on a simple targe for my brother and it is time to mount the boss and the leather around the rim. I was going to use some sort of hex screws that would look stylish but that would not scream screws, however they look way too modern. I have never used rivets before and I'm not against learning I just don't want to spend a lot on equipment. Any advice? The only thing is that I'm afraid to use nails especially on the boss, I want the boss to be nice and secure.
Thanks,
Moses

I'll recommend a pattern and instructions developed by Jason Pate, a friend and master leather worker based in St. Paul Minnesota. Sadly (for us local reenactors), his interests have recently migrated from medieval to western six-gun shooting.
