They look great Glenn! What did you use to cut the pockets for the bird's eye rivet?

Just standard drills. I stepped them up slowly. As you may have found out, they can tear up the hole really easy.

Very nice Glenn, as always. Are those both micarta? The top one canvas, and the bottom one burlap?

Yes, good call! That was my first try with the burlap. I wasn't sure how it was going to finish out, but it was decent to work with.

I don't have anything prepared for that, and to be honest, my prep for those is still a work in progress, LOL. I do use standard drills right now, and step them up little by little.

Yep I found that out. I was making my steps too big. When I changed tactics things got a lot better! ::nod:: I also had issues with the washer not seating right in the hole. Worked it all out though! Thanks Glen, I should have asked you about this first. Would have been less stressfull ::handshake::

I agree, the micarta looks nice on a sod buster. ::tu::

I did a sod buster a while back and didn't posted in the forum.
I didn't use a birds eye rivet, I just used a cutlers rivet and inlet enough room for the head of the rivet to set down in the handle.
I had to modify the rivet shank and cut off the female end a little bit so it was the right length, but it went together with no problem.
Am I missing something? ::shrug::

He's referring to drilling out the spot for the rivet/birdseye head. Maybe we're making it more difficult, but it's easy to get blowout when drilling those holes.
