Hello Philip, I was wondering if you have any tips on how to add quick release spring bars
to a watch strap. The client in question wants this kind of spring bars on his new custom strap.
Thanks in advance

Great Phil thanks I ll give it a try.
Generally you will want to add them when you fold the leather at the turn over (lug end). Normally I like to use a 2mm brass rod, but with QR spring bars, this is the point where they get inserted.
So prior to installing and turning over your leather you need to make a small oval hole (known as a 'stadium' in geometry) so that the little bolt can poke through and move side to side. A tiny oval cutter can be made by carefully crushing a 2mm hole punch in a vice.
Hello,
Moving this to the Help section so that you can get more input from non-students members.
