Article: Looking at fish has proven to help calm down the mind, having positive impacts on your mental wellbeing. Take some time to enjoy watching your fish swim around in its tank to help you destress. Use your finger as the target, or use a small stick with a brightly colored end that will catch the fish's attention. Give the fish a piece of food each time it comes to where the target is, moving the target around slowly once the fish gets good at following. This is a great way to teach your fish to swim through a hoop as well. Fish such as bettas and goldfish can often do this trick. Wet your finger or a pointer stick and attach a piece of fish food to it, holding it just over the surface of the water. If your fish is hungry, it'll try to reach the piece of food by jumping out of the water. Once your fish is able to grab the piece of food, keep raising your finger or stick higher above the water to make it more challenging. You may need to wiggle your finger or the stick above the water's surface so your fish notices. Place a small floating ball, roughly the size of the fish's head, in the fish tank. When the fish nudges it, give the fish a piece of food. Continue rewarding the fish with food whenever it touches the ball. Eventually, your fish will start nudging the ball harder to get a treat. Pay close attention to your fish when you're training it so you're ready to give it a piece of food as soon as it touches the ball. This scares the fish and can bother their hearing abilities due to the sound. Use slow movements when trying to get your fish to notice you. Tapping on the glass will also likely make your fish hide.

Article: Copper rivets with washers tend to be larger than your everyday rivets. Make sure when you punch the hole that it's big enough for a wider rivet post to get through. It should be big enough that you can push the rivet post through the leather but not so big that it slips right through. You should have at least 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) of rivet post above the surface of your leather. Push the rivet up from the bottom of the leather. Flip your leather over so you can see where the post sticks up through the leather. Set the washer over the post so that it's flat against the leather. The anvil should be big enough to accommodate the piece of leather you're working on. You should be able to work on the rivet on a flat surface. A copper rivet setter is silver, and is almost shaped like a lighter. On one end, you'll see a concave circle, with a smaller, hollow circle next to it. Place the setter over the rivet post and on top of the washer, making sure the post goes into the hollow circle on the setter. You might need two or three taps to make sure everything is set. Don't pound too hard, as this can ruin the rivet. When you're done, the washer should be completely flat against the leather. If you notice that the washer seems to be higher on one side of the post than the other, give it another bang to make sure it's set all the way around. With the same mallet or hammer, pound down on the post a few times. You should hit the setter fairly hard for this step, because what you're doing is getting the post to expand and flatten out. This will keep the washer in place and your rivet secure.
