Step 15Install the snaps
Separate the fibers, and push in the post from the bottom.
I actually ended up putting the post over the ice pick, then sliding the pick with the snap post on it, using the pick as a guide of sorts.
Put the collar over the post, get the anvil under with the flat side up, and put your setter on the post, and drive it home with the hammer. You must curl the post all the way down, so it is out of the way, and you don't want that snap to get away or work loose. You don't want to loose your pants, or anything you may have hanging on your belt (Leatherman, holster, knife, quiver, etc).
Keep checking as you go, until you get it hammered to the right curl.
It's important to keep everything as straight as possible, so keep an eye on the post to make sure it is curling evenly as you hammer happily along.
