A punch along the lines of the Heritage Hand Press, punches holes, sets rivets, spots, snaps, etc.

Or a *manual* clicker press.

I've got a friend doing some small size leather pieces on a volume that's hard to keep up with cutting and punching by hand and I'm looking into other options.

How about a foot press?

Might be interested in a foot press. Space and price considerations push me toward the smaller hand model, but a foot press isn't out of the question.

I have 3 foot presses, only need one with my other machinery, and could hook you up with one. I will take a pic and send it to you. The cost getting it to you is more the problem. The press is around 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep, approx 30 inches tall. I have $100 in it and would take that for it. We can work out some arrangements to meet if you would be interested in one.

If you only need a small hand machine, I am using the ones I have, I have them set up for different snaps and such, but might be able to lay hands on one for you. Seems like I could pick them up for around $50 a few months back, if my buddy still has a few.

If you or your friend have a drill press, you can fit the hammer style leather punch handle in it, throw a hunk of teflon on the table and use that. Just use the lever to punch, do NOT turn the motor on. Works pretty slick.
