Common Metal Shop Tools: Riveting

Thankyou so much. I was cleaning out my late fathers estate and I came across a rivet id never seen before. Thanks to your video, I now know what a semi-tubular rivet is and you saved the pack from the bin. Thanks again. Marz. Aus

Can you ever maintain movement/rotation with a pop rivet? Or does the nature of the way they work mean your material will always be in enough compression to hold them tightly together, preventing movement?

Matthew, are you on Instagram? Because I feel in need to follow you. 😅 This was a perfect way to spend my evening

Great!!

I loved learning how to make a handmade rivet. Very useful video!

Thank you. It's one of the best I've ever seen on procedure. I was looking for methods to squash a bolt head after heating it, with a tool such as a concave shape, but I'm currently unfamiliar with the name of it.

I've seen when people restore old vintage metal per tools such as drills, oresses etc. They uae a type kf rivet where they nail the nametag into the by just hammering from one side?
I can never understand how it expands on the inside to hold the tag to the tool?
Is it a special type if rivet?

This video was VERY helpful, thank you!

Most comprehensive video on rivets that I've watched. Thank you.

Just trying some rivets out, this might be the tenth video I’ve watched. You’re an artist, and your video quality and explanation is top notch. Thank you

Wonderful video!

Thank you so very much, great video!,,,,

The fuck is up with the "intro"? Did you get sued?

Thank you for your extremely informative video. You are hands down the best videographer on riveting that I've come across. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to post this video

Wow. I thought i knew a lot but i found so much info here to consider. Thank you for your making these videos.

Thanks for the awesome information

Wow! That was so comprehensive and wonderfully explained. Thanks very much.

would you happen to know how watertight riveting on early 20th century ships worked, to prevent ingress of seawater?

I love the man doing the demo. May all my rivets be elegant and nothing I make be horribly ugly. Thank you for this really good demo.

Awesome.

Great video for this novice, thank you. What is the make of the rivet press you are using?

Hii

This was fascinating. It might be for a totally different class but I wish you would have continued to fabric rivets and early jean rivets. I’d love to see more tips/how to for fabric and a history of rivets on other materials. What was the order of rivet material use in history? I’d guess metals > leather goods > cotton twill

Working as a home remodeler I have used rivets for fastening gutters but it was years ago. I totally forgot how I did it so I was looking for info and tutorials. I've also used eyelet grommets.

This video demonstrates that rivets can be used for jewelry with elegance.

Gutters don't need to have pretty rivets but this is useful for my small finish projects.

I was considering using eyelet/grommets for a hand-made cipher disc but the hand tool I have is way too limited for length. I bought a second one I was considering to cut and modify it to fit so I could have an unlimited reach (as long as the bottom could be held steady to hammer from above).

But now that I discovered rivets can be installed by hand, that may be a better option.

Thanks for the video. Great insight and information.

Worthwhile video! Enjoyed watching. Thanks.

Fine instruction and editing.

One word to describe this video.......wait for it........RIVETING!!

Where is ur hapnin' suit??

amazing the graph you show how to determine the length of the rivet took the confusion out of my head

Well done!

You work like I do. "IDFK what the hell this is called, but it's a clampy holdy thing and it works."

Took a dozen videos to find you!!! 
Plenty on Pop Rivets, but THIS is the info I sought & it is Excellent!

Thank you!

Hi is a plaque like the Prada triangle applied to clothing and bags in this same way?

Thank YOU very much 😁

Great presentation & excellent bench work, thanks!

If only they had let girls take "shop" when I was in 7th grade!

must see videos... thanks for sharing..

Kids, you need to learn these things. Our disposable world will eventually be disposed of - and you'll need the skills to fabricate and repair things. Excellent class, Matthew!

This video is great. It saves cost. The author of the video showed that to do riveting, most of the tools and materials needed are available: hammer, jeweller plier, chisel, rivet gun , hard surface(bench anvil), flame, wires, center punch, files, sandpaper, jeweller saw, hand reamer, rivet set, rivet( solid, semi tubular, pop rivet etc)

Thank you, you are a very good teacher for sure.

Super rad. Thank you.

Awesome work!

This video is made so well! Thank you very much - you really solved me some problems!!

Excellent, thank you...

Excellant basic info. I will share this when apprentices ask about rivet. Thumbs up

Great video. I really learned a lot and am eager to learn to combine rivets and wood. I'm subscribing.

Best "rivet" video I've seen! Are aluminum rivets stronger than copper?

This is great, thank you!
