Hi
I own a really good Fairweather Christian belt from David Carrico. I starting making my own belts, but not for shooting until now. I'm part of the way through a Fairweather Christian belt using a Civil War era belt like the one Frank James used. I have several ways of attaching / adjusting the belt from this page:

including the one in the first picture.
The back is supposed to look like the second picture (riveted).
How do I make the brad look like a rivet? Do I cut if off say 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the leather and treat it like a copper rivet? Can I use the copper rivet tool or will it break?
Thanks
