Super helpful to this total beginner trying to install a dog door that was a little more involved than expected.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Glad it helped.

Thank you for posting this phenomenal video. I recently purchased a solo canoe into which I need to install a removable yoke for portaging. The brackets require installation of rivets to secure it to the gunwale and I've never installed a rivet in my life. I'm now feeling much more confident!

[@Caliber8Tools]

Great. Rivet guns are fun to use. Glad it helped.

Thank you for putting this video up and showing these instructions is detailed as you did because now I know what I was doing wrong when I tried to use a riveter
Another thing I really appreciated is the fact that all the different kinds of rivets and materials like stainless steel and aluminum in the copper and what applications that you should use these different rivets on very helpful thank you

Nice

[@HeadsUP253]

Great exercise 💪

[@Caliber8Tools]

For sure.

[@renostubbs8504]

Nice demonstration mate, does it matter the distance between the holes??

[@Caliber8Tools]

The minimum spacing between protruding head rivets(round head rivets like the ones in the video) should be no less than 31/2(15.5)times the rivet diameter. For flush head or countersunk rivets the minimum spacing is at least 4 times the diameter of the rivet.

Thanks man, we appreciate your videos.@@Caliber8Tools

I wondered what I was doing wrong. You have to keep pumping the handle till the piece drops off! Well, are there air powered guns, as I think my hands will give out on placing more than one rivet!

[@Caliber8Tools]

Hahaha, that’s funny. I know the feeling. They do have air powered(pneumatic) rivet guns and electric rivet guns.

[@Scorpio-tn4vy]

🥱🙄 If you squeeze the handles shut there will be no pressure to change out adapters.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Ok thanks.

And you have to watch the staff doesn’t hit you in the face when you pop it off

[@Caliber8Tools]

Right.
