Homemade eyelet setting punch for kydex sheath?

Hey there guys... I bought a kydex sheath kit from TKS and once I got it I realized it did not come with the punches to flare the eyelets. Anyone got any ideas of things I might have around the house or local hardware store that would work to flare and set the eyelets instead of waiting to order the "right" tools?

I guess I could always use chicago screws all the way around..

Thought you guys might have some ideas. A search did not turn up any results.

Thanks,
jerid

If you are going to do it, do it right. Hand tools are CHEAP and your work will look a hell of a lot better!
