Hello leatherworking goons, first of all, great projects posted here so far. I recently had the idea that I need to make a quiver, but sadly that was before I found the thread or put much thought to the basic tools needed to do the job. (I do some woodworking and fletching, so most tools for cutting and sharpening are compatible anyway)

So, I managed to make this without losing too much blood (It's not finished yet, as I wait for a swivel knife, etc.):



Then there's a 2nd one where I wanted to fix a concho (?)



I'm puzzled how to do this, the piece came with these brass thingies:



How am I supposed to do this? I have the feeling that I could use a (wooden-)hammer for the job, but I thought it's smarter to ask first.

I'm in Europe, so shipping might be a bit too expensive from over there. How about this? I need a set for other rivet types too anyway.

So, I use the tubular tool to fix the rivet to the leather and after that fix the concho?

They look like these:

The male part is the concho, and there's this star shaped form at the bottom. Looks like you just need an anvil and a hammer.
