This is exactly what I was looking for ... Fantastic idea! And thanks for the very quiet video with your calm voice and no blaring music in the background! Thanks so much!
Never hold a piece of metal with your hand when drilling with a drill press if it gets caught it can spin the metal now you have a spining blade I've seen someone have to go to the E.R from that use a clamp or weight. The counter sink tool we call that one a rose bud and use it to deburr in aerospace great video i enjoyed it.
I am sure he is well aware of how to use his tools. Why is it everyone becomes a safety Nazi on you tube? In all fairness he is drilling a soft gumming type of metal that will never “catch” when drilling as slow as he is. I think I am going to start a new award for safety Nazis and call it the Peoples PC a-hole of the day award.
@@kwhp1507 LOL! Spot on, and the safety nazis kinda seem like a 'variant' of the SJW's and social media "Moral Narcissists"... aka, "I have The Truth®, and I'm Entitled!" ;-p
@@kwhp1507 I see these warnings as being for dumbasses like me who watch these videos but don't have all the experience/skills etc. that he has. I appreciate them 🤷♂️
Thank you so much. I wish I had seen this before the "YOU CAN WELD ALUMINUM SUPER EASY WITH THESE RODS!!!!" videos. Half of my welds (brazing?) failed. My surface where cleaned well. I think it had to do with the aluminum being to thick to maintain the heat. It was L shaped 1"X 1 and 1/4" and roughly 3/16" thick. I was attaching 3" wide straps that where thin. Even with MAP gas it wouldn't get hot enought to consistently "weld" bond together. Steves rivets seem like a better solution for mechanical bonding.
This why you want to pick up those old well made hand tools like reamers and all types of metal tools when you see them cheap at a yard sale. They may be invaluable later.
that was exactly the information i needed to repair an aluminum piece that was probably riveted in the same way.. only knowing pop rivets so far, this was the perfect how-to for me :) thanks a lot for taking the time to share this.
The idea to do this with your own stock is cool! Never occurred to me. Recently I was cleaning up my favorite pliers to give to my son, and suddenly noticed the beautiful rivet that holds the two halves together - virtually invisible when ground flat and polished, and taken for granted by me. That led me to bump into your nice best-practice sharing video. Thank you!
Steve, great tip many thanks for this. Am building a PC case from the ground up and was breaking my head on how to hide rivets, you just made my day ;-) Cheers
Fantastic! I also never knew this was how it could be finished. Any Gruman body truck or jet has billion of these. Little did I know this could be a DYI. Thanks for taking the time and using your skills to make this video. Reading the comments you can now call yourself the best educator on UA-cam. I'm 68 and had no clue. Thumbs up n subscribed.
With all of today's exotic tech, thx much for the reminder about the value of basic rivets... such a simple yet venerable fastening method, and as old as the use of metal itself.
Great Job! Thank you for making this video. Easy to listen to and to understand. Would just like a list of your equipment with simple description so that us Newbies can get find or buy what you have in your workshop to make the rivets.
I can see the same flush surface rivets setup on my old hack 5" engineer's set square. It's had a hard life abused by many but still gives an accurate 90 degrees. The newer set i recently bought (clean shiny and of small sizes) appear to have all been brased-welded with no sign of any rivets. I bet that if they were ever dropped that's the end of them for accuracy.
In additional to my previous comment in the aeorospace technology the solid rivet is used instead of welding like aircraft fuselage such as Boeing etc. using basic tools nearly The difference is mini pneumatic 1.4 kg hammer ( price is $30) and bucking bar instead of hammer and vise earl years flush rivets are hand made for steam tanks with basic tools
I think a little more metal in the head of the rivet would have held the pieces together better and kept the metal from bending. It was only able to bend because the rivet failed. A little more counter-sink would have done the job. But the rest of your work is exceptional and I learned a few tips from you to help me out in the future. Thanks.
Very nice video and very informative. I hope to God that I never have a need to do this myself because I don’t think I’d have the patience to do that! I’d be reaching for the CA glue
Great video, thanks! I have wondered, does anyone know of reamers with a fatter angle? All I can think of are 60 degree countersinks. Anything in between? L

One of the highest quality and most useful and informative videos on UA-cam. An excellent educational work. Thank you!
very nice presentation. No music, just quite spoken demonstration and explanations. Beautiful, Thanks Steve
Liked the technique, and the total no-nonsense approach. No babbling or extraneous chatter, just right to the point!

@@kwhp1507 Because he can't flex in real life so he has to flex his safety knowledge on UA-cam.

Countersink it to 100 degrees and you'll get a far stronger joint, aviation practice .

This is a wonderful technique, beautifully demonstrated.
Thank you.
Incredible Skill .... The 2 Rivets are Almost Invisible and made Strongly joined as well ! Wonderful & THANKS !

This is an awesome instructional video, just what I was looking for. I'm definitely going to be stealing this is for my next project
Dang...that was actually pretty cool. Thanks for posting.
I like that you expanded both sides at once.
Really nice, great explanation including pounding it apart.
It is very apparent that you have done this many times. Thank you.
Beautiful! I hadn't seen this before! Thanks Steve!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL SIR! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
Great Job! Thank you for making this video. Easy to listen to and to understand. Would just like a list of your equipment with simple description so that us Newbies can get find or buy what you have in your workshop to make the rivets.
Should use the ball side of the hammer to pound rivets.. causes the metal to spread out more in your countersunk hole.
Very cool technique and super satisfying to watch.
Very cool technique! Looks great once it's filed. Thanks for sharing I'll be using this for sure.
That's brilliant, mate. First I've seen this technique. So simple and economic.
in the 70's i learned to use the ball end of the hammer , but then again it was mostly on steel , not as soft as alloy . good vid , thanks
I can see the same flush surface rivets setup on my old hack 5" engineer's set square. It's had a hard life abused by many but still gives an accurate 90 degrees. The newer set i recently bought (clean shiny and of small sizes) appear to have all been brased-welded with no sign of any rivets.

You can only see the rivets because they are a different alloy of aluminum. Great video.
Excellent demo, I picked up a couple of tricks, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
That was the coolest thing I've seen in metal work on you tube
its not what I was looking for but what a nice finish job. I was impressed when the rivet nearly disappeared into the metal.
Very good presentation, Steve, thank you
Very well explained; Thank you very much Steve; Much appreciated.
You can make amazing tools using brass bars and copper rivets using this technique. I still have mine from carpentry school.
Appreciate the attention to every detail. Thanks.
Thanks Steve. Very helpful and informative!
Love that demo,and I don't even do metalwork!😊👏👏👏👏
Thanks! That's a great idea. Very clean look. I need to work on my hammer skills to pull that off. Wow!
Fantastic result, well done!
That's amazing Steve. Thanks a lot!!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks, Steve.
....thank YOU very much !! very precise work !!! kinde refards from Switzerland !!
Excellent idea! Thank you for sharing. I'm sharing it too.
Thank you. Used my first rivet today.

A little more counter-sink would have done the job. But the rest of your work is exceptional and I learned a few tips from you to help me out in the future. Thanks.
A steeper angle with a regular countersink bit would have left more supporting material.
You can’t countersink to the point of a knife edge because it will cause rivet shearing
Very good instructional video, thanks for passing on your skills.
Magical! Great demo.
excellent demonstration, cool technique
That’s incredible advice...THANK you
That’s very impressive and could be equally useful.
Thanks I'll be using this Technic on my next project.
Superb work ^_^ very educational. Thank you very much!
Nice photography!
Great video. Thanks for the tips!
All that beautiful work, then destroy it at the end. Lol. Great vid!
I learn something today for sure..Thanks.
How cool was that! Wizard!!!
Wow that is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Excellent tutorial.
Wow thanks for this video, awesome trick 👍
Thank you for this nice trick :)
Excelente!!! una lección más aprendida, muchas gracias!
Great Video, Great information, Thank you for posting
Wow! That was impressive
Well done....Professional job. Thanks
That was amazing. Thank you.
thanks for the video , excellent work .
Very nice video and very informative.
I hope to God that I never have a need to do this myself because I don’t think I’d have the patience to do that! I’d be reaching for the CA glue
Hey Follow Me, not a bad idea, at all. Tack the two pieces together with CA, then work can proceed more swiftly while drilling and squeezing! L
Excellent job!
When filing aluminium you get a better finish if you put chalk on the file.
Great tip, thanks!
That is SOOO cool!
thanks man i was trying to make a barrel and was wondering how to join the metal ring together
Great technique thanks!
This is great Thank You! 0:39 Any particular type and size of rod? Are these generally available at home depot?
This is perfect thank you
Are you a magician? I'll rephrase that: you are a magician.
thanks! neat and informative
This is great! thank you.
Very well presented.
Thanks Steve!!
nicely done.
Bonjour. Très bonne vidéo. Merci.
great tutorial!
Nicely done , what type of file did you use. Thanks
Good stuff. Thanks
I wonder what green liquid is before drilling, I like this method.
great video thank you
perfection!
Excellent. Thank you for this tutorial!
GREAT VIDEO, HAVE YOU TRIED THIS WITH MILD STEEL?
Thanks for the info!
Excellent!
Good stuff....thank you!
Almost invisible. that's amazing
Great hack..thanks 😷👍
Great video, thanks! I have wondered, does anyone know of reamers with a fatter angle? All I can think of are 60 degree countersinks. Anything in between? L
