I've used a cold riveter that worked like Marty's Matchbook Makeovers method. It had a very robust chassis like an arbor press. The head ran at about 60-100 rpm. The trick was that unlike Marty's set-up on the drill press the dome forming tool wasn't vertical (though the drive was). The end of the forming tool was off-set 5-10 degrees so that when it was running it appeared to be oscillating. The tool was hardened and polished and when it came down onto the rivet it "walked" around the rivet and deformed it into a very nice looking dome. Oil on the rivets kept the tool from galling the rivet head. There were adjustments so once set it was easy to get repeatable results in a production run. There were different tools for different styles of rivets. When you see a rivet with concentric circles on the head it was probably done with this type of tool. Cheers from NC/USA
I have used ATS rivet squeezer and dies 25+ yrs ago. Unfortunately it has a narrow, maybe 3" throat but it is great for repairing joints on small and large tool boxes. Was able to tighten the rivets on a wooden 6' step ladder. You only need it when you do. Thanks for the upload. I think the ATS is primarily used in aircraft industry. ATS still sells today on their website listing a 22" throat tool. Keeps me searching for a used one. My brother-in-law worked for Boeing years ago. I'm sure if I got serious one could be located in the Seattle area. Never enough. Have a greater one.
Wow what a great video ,very useful information for me that I did not know before, all I knew was just those standard pop rivets before this or would just grab a nut and bolt to try to fix something but now I could do it the right way and make a great job of it, thanks a lot. Ken
Multi-purpose corn cobs nd you used an Estwing hammer the other day and I didn't say anything about it. I must be slipping. Good riveting experience, John CS! Blessings 2 U and Smiley!
Great video buddy! In a previous lifetime I was a semi trailer mechanic and I've bucked probably a million rivets LOL I think my hearing is a little shot from an even with wearing protection
@@ScoutCrafter Had a customer come in our store and ask if we had sex screws. Of course I laughed and then he described these Chicago screws. I'm always learning, haha ! But when a women came in and described what she needed I told her what she needs is a sex screw I thought she was going to slap me. Sometimes it's fun working at a Hardware store!
Wouldn’t you know it, Scout’s on the job. He started this show with a doggone corn cob. Then on to rivets. He doesn’t like pop. He just kept on talking. The guy never stops. So many types. So many rivets. More types than when I golf and make divets. I like them all Especially for leather. They don’t add weight. They’re light as a feather. Along comes the tools. The dome’s shaped like a dill. He says we can make them. Like we have the skill. Rivets are handy. Scout makes them look nice. But when I do them, I must do it twice. Thanks for the fun. 🤠
I remember in metal shop in Jr high school making a metal box. One side of the box we solderd and one side we riveted. I have a good collection of different rivets including brass rivets for replacing bands on a ford model t transmission. The parts of your video with the copper rivets reminds me of Levi denim pants that my mother quit buying for me when they raised the price to 4.25 from 4.00 so I had to start wearing cheaper jeans. I use to remove the red Levi tag off the rear pocket of the Levi's and sew it on to my cheap jeans so I wouldn't get used as punching bag in school.
WOW, ScoutCrafter! You're a Marty's Matchbox Makeovers fan too! Guess creative people manage to find each other, right? And then, there's Kevin... sheesh! :-D
This is so cool: there are many of these old rivets kicking around here from past estate sale purchases & I never really knew how they went together....until now.... and the corncob handle is just brilliant. By the way, thanks so much for saving my ears by editing out the banging. That takes time yet you do it for "us" anyway. Have a great day!!
Hi John , Good Info . I Work on HW & Matchboxes too . Use 2-56 Allen cap "Screws" . That Was A fun to Watch Video . I See You're Teaching us All . You Also Are Having Copycats out there.
Those "Chicago screws" are basically the same thing as Corby fasteners used by knifemakers to fix handles to knife tangs. The only difference is the head shape.
Ah I have always wonder what those "Chicago screws" were actually called. We see them all the time for binding hole punched engineering drawing sets when not in binders. Never considered they might be used as actual fasteners elsewhere. Sweet intro! Talking Marty I would love to see your take on a hot wheels restoration someday. I think you would knock it out of the park!
Well that answers that for me John! I found a bunch of the copper rivets in my grandfather's stuff. I figured they were rivets, but had no idea that a doming tool was made for them. Thanks for showing this. Always great to learn new things here! Funny thing was I was thinking of Marty's tool also right before you mentioned it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Scoutcrafter, in school metalworking classes we were taught how to use a soft iron rivet and then countersink the opposite side and cut the rivet proud. Then ball pein the rivet into the countersink until it fills the countersink entirely. Once filed flat the repair virtually disappears and is my favourite way of attaching spade heads to new handles. If you cannot get soft iron rivets then use an iron nail. Heat to red heat and let it cool slowly to anneal it. Then rivet but he careful as lots of little taps will work harden the rivet. Has been useful for the past 50 years. Great video as always, informative, useful and thoroughly entertaining.
John, I wondered if in the past you had ever experimented with small hot rivets? In general, of course, the goal on this channel is a functional, often attractive restoration. As I get better at detailed restorations, personally I get more curious about the really tough stuff - I'll call "museum-grade" restoration. I wonder if one could use either MAP+O2 or OxyAcetline torch to heat smaller rivets, use a small anvil or anvil area, a shaped mandrel like the ones you made for the copper rivets, and peen a clean rivet in a full museum-grade type of restoration? Have any other viewers tried this in the past? I might put this on my "breakthrough skills" to attempt and report back later in the year. Nice segment. A logical follow on to this piece would be grommets.
Hi Marc- I have a pair of pliers I bought just for that purpose! It needs a new rivet and I wanted to use heat and the Dake to see if I could replicate the original... =D Nothing to lose here! LOL
“ Riveting Stuff “ indeed John ! Another great episode, truly did actually learn a great deal - Thanks Man Your Knowledge Knows No Boundaries ! One thing - Maybe NOT a tool You’de be interested in, but as an American Product, I sure would love to hear your comments & see a video on this if you can “ The ADEL Nibbler “ hand tool ( the original black one & all if any of its accessories ) www.adelnibbler.com/ As I say “ may be not “ so-useful In the shop ... “ may be so “ i’ll leave that up to you I’m intrigued what we could use it for & what similar tool our forefathers might have used similarly before its invention Looking Forward To The Next Instalment My Friend Andy In Scotland - U.K.
ScoutCrafter John ... If u look up ( spelling mite b wrong here ).... Manhattan PCB Construction For building home made circuits of ANY kind, seemingly enthusiasts used it like wild-fire in the 1990’s in the states Cant buy them here I jnow that for sure So am gonna have to save an buy my usual “ 3 of this tool “ from the states - no other option really But just thought it might come in handy for somethin sometime eh. Maybe aluminum or light sheet work or bending, I have no idea really Don’t think it primarily for pcb work there must be other applications And in the Good Ol’ Days I’d guess they had comparible tools Just A Heads-Up Buddy !
My grandfather had brass split rivets when I was a kid, he taught me how to use them for all kinds of projects. Knife skabbords to arrow quivers. Love the video, made me feel 10 again..
Cool, a trip back to my grandpa's corn farm in Iowa. He used those corn cobs for file handles as well. He fought in WWI, lived through the great depression and I got to spend some one-on-one time with him so I learned a lot. He was wise. I got the bug, learned woodworking, leatherwork, welding/fabrication, electronics, etc and I don't regret any of it. It makes me happy to teach others too, so I appreciate what you are doing here! Thanks
Bless him he rambled at the beginning a bit, but once I continued to listen he was actually giving some very good advice and tips. I thank you fot posting this video Sir
You said that you don't like Pop rivets. They are called Cherry. Max or blind rivets . they are used in aircraft where you can't get to the other side.they work very well. ECK USMC
Those rivets look nice rounded over like that. I kind of like the look of hammer facets on the peened over part too though. I guess it depends on the application. Big thumbs up on the corncob file handle too! 👍🏼👍🏼. Take Care 😁
Thanks for the information. It was very useful. I too am a subscriber to Marty's channel and he does an excellent job of restoring Matchbox cars. I keep looking at your earlier episodes and I always find something new to learn about.
Hi my friend. Is there anything you don't know how to do? Maybe surgeries. Heck, I say that, and you will probably do a heart transplant on your next episode. Have a great week Dr. Scoutcrafter. I love it.
Dreaded pop rivet, is the exact word I would use. Trying to restore a wooden folding table that has been riveted together. Never again, they are difficult and time consuming to remove from wood without damaging! Reserve for metal me thinks. I’m going to make a new table!
Hi Scout, I'm a little late to the show today, just got back from a friend who welded something up for me. The copper rivets are really cool, but for some reason I kept thinking about that clamp just showed at the start of the video.. It's really nice! Great instructional, wasn't wrong looking forward to this all day. Thanks a lot! Time to get in the sack for me now.
Thank you for the great information ….. Now here is the million dollar question……..How do I remove a old rivet with a burr? They are rusted in a old steamer trunk. 😊
You can modify c clamps to do rivets theres a few folks that do leatherwork and hotwheel restorations that use that method and it works fairly well from what ive seen and my experiences using them
I have a collapsible clothes drying rack that uses rivets to hold together a folding metal hinge between the legs. One of the rivets broke off when the rack fell over one day. I wasn't sure what kind if rivet to use to repair it. But it looks very similar to the two piece rivet you showed last. Thank you.
Like the shout out to Marty. Love that channel. Quick request - I would love to learn the difference between various plastics and various adhesives. If you have some knowledge about such things, please consider an episode about that.
Great topic today’s John I learned something today. I have also seen on a UA-cam channel which I don’t remember of a river center that looks like a C clamp any ideas on that
Anyone interested to see steel rivets and peening can watch Dave Engel's Coach Shop. He uses steel rivets quite often on his projects. Also if you pay close attention to the tools on the wall in the background on Dave Engel's Coach Shop, you can spot a orignal ScoutCrafterized autowrench! Thanks for the rivet info. I never knew what to call the Chicago screws. I have a nice tray of them I scavenged from a pile of old carpet sales sample displays. They come in handy. I guess I should check out this Marty guy now.
James- Dave is such a great guy and has amazing talents in so many fields! If he was stuck on Gilligan's Island the show would only have lasted 3 episodes as he would have fixed the S.S. Minnow in no time!
Another interesting video. I always learn something or recognize a similar tool from my collection, however it still needs to be SC’d!! I remember using the Chicago rivets to attach the wheel trucks to my skateboard. We called em “Sex Bolts” for obvious reasons. Hahaha! Cheers. “Chicago screws”
Corn cob! who would have thought! I used those copper rivets a lot in leather. I love them. You should make a dome tool for the Dake after peening with a hammer, let the Dake take care of the rest, especially with copper. A lot of the old cars had rivets instead of bolts, probably cheaper having a bucket of rivets than to use bolts. My '64 Chevy C-10 frame is riveted together. Been fun cutting those babies out as needed for ball joints, new brake drums etc. I agree on the pop rivets, I try to use my dome tool to finish those if I can. great video on Rivets!!
Great video scout I learnt something new today I gotta get me some of those Chicago screws ha ha Could you show us some of your leather work with the rivets you used that would be great 👍 I’m a big fan of The copper and brass rivets I never knew there were so many different rivets crazy god bless take care 🇺🇸👏🇳🇿🙏🛠🔩
hi if you was worked during titanic construction he was never sink because the story was iceberg chock of course but the real problem was bad quality of rivet two different type one used with pneumatic rivet nose( steel rivet) and inside the small space in the boat rivet was bump by hand ( iron ) and this second quality own slag inside ( they made them like glass after heat , cold; bumping and with O° water ) see you soon captain scout crafter
Sweet corn must be very expensive in New York? We usually don't eat it as close to the cob as you do. Appreciate the education on rivets, I was given a bunch of steel rivets and have never had much luck using them. Thought I needed to be taught better I guess I've been taught to avoid them.
Thank you for another great video, not sure if you have covered it in the past any way you can do a video on your process of sharpening the cutting edges on linesman pliers and diagonal pliers? Some scoutcrafter tips and tricks. Thank you in advance.
Scout - I was brought to your channel by Klein on Instagram. Really liked your video on the old klein lineman pliers restoration. I have a set that is in worse shape. I dug them up in the back yard maybe 10 years ago, no idea where they came from. I don't think they are Klein. They have an L2 or LZ on the handle. Looks like it was made to have a spring between the handles, one hole on each handle right next to the joint. Any idea what this is? I was going to clean them up like you did and get the Klein replacement handles hoping they fit. These pliers are 7-3/4 inches long. By the way, I have grown to really like these pliers. They were rusted shut but I was able to free it with a lot of work and WD-40.
heh heh I am so sorry to hear that! I sent him a email last week when he removed his videos from UA-cam, I haven’t heard back. Please give him my best!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!! Nothing beats a well formed rivet! Thanks for that outstanding explanation!!!!!
We used that type of machine to set rivets at Douglas Autotech. They set thousands of rivets. Good machine only replaced one setting tool in 6 years.

Allen There are many types of rivet presses, hydraulic, gear driven, leverage... The “C” Clamp is just another way to form the dome! 😃👍
Very useful info. Thanks for sharing. Best to you!
THANK YOU...for sharing. My dad was a big fan of rivets, he was always making things and using rivets to hold them together. Great show John.
Gary- I too have always loved rivets!! 😃👍
Reactionary commentary-free. Thanks.
My favorite is female-to-female as well, Scout!
Love the Red White and Blue before all your videos!
Very interesting tutorial on rivets. - Kathie
Anyone interested to see steel rivets and peening can watch Dave Engel's Coach Shop. He uses steel rivets quite often on his projects. Also if you pay close attention to the tools on the wall in the background on Dave Engel's Coach Shop, you can spot a orignal ScoutCrafterized autowrench! Thanks for the rivet info. I never knew what to call the Chicago screws. I have a nice tray of them I scavenged from a pile of old carpet sales sample displays. They come in handy. I guess I should check out this Marty guy now.
James- Dave is such a great guy and has amazing talents in so many fields! If he was stuck on Gilligan's Island the show would only have lasted 3 episodes as he would have fixed the S.S. Minnow in no time!
Great tutorial on rivets ScoutCrafter!!
Need a ScoutCrafter red corn cob.
Very informative thanks for the tips on rivits
excellent video, like beginners stuff
You didn't say my frog joke 😔
I feel like a dope now! Doh!
Another interesting video. I always learn something or recognize a similar tool from my collection, however it still needs to be SC’d!! I remember using the Chicago rivets to attach the wheel trucks to my skateboard. We called em “Sex Bolts” for obvious reasons. Hahaha! Cheers. “Chicago screws”
Did you ever see my Skateboard video? ua-cam.com/video/DhDgizzmgSo/v-deo.html
Corn cob! who would have thought! I used those copper rivets a lot in leather. I love them. You should make a dome tool for the Dake after peening with a hammer, let the Dake take care of the rest, especially with copper. A lot of the old cars had rivets instead of bolts, probably cheaper having a bucket of rivets than to use bolts. My '64 Chevy C-10 frame is riveted together. Been fun cutting those babies out as needed for ball joints, new brake drums etc. I agree on the pop rivets, I try to use my dome tool to finish those if I can. great video on Rivets!!
Aaron! '64 C-10! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Great video scout I learnt something new today I gotta get me some of those Chicago screws ha ha
Could you show us some of your leather work with the rivets you used that would be great 👍 I’m a big fan of
The copper and brass rivets I never knew there were so many different rivets crazy god bless take care
🇺🇸👏🇳🇿🙏🛠🔩
Matt I just scratched the surface! Hardware is amazing! 😃👍
hi
if you was worked during titanic construction he was never sink
because the story was iceberg chock of course
but the real problem was bad quality of rivet
two different type one used with pneumatic rivet nose( steel rivet)
and inside the small space in the boat rivet was bump by hand ( iron )
and this second quality own slag inside ( they made them like glass after heat , cold; bumping and with O° water )
see you soon captain scout crafter
Hubert - We are all still fascinated by that ship! I would love to see the Titanic 2!
Sweet corn must be very expensive in New York? We usually don't eat it as close to the cob as you do. Appreciate the education on rivets, I was given a bunch of steel rivets and have never had much luck using them. Thought I needed to be taught better I guess I've been taught to avoid them.
Michael- They aren't for everything but are great when used on certain items!
Great show john very good info
John, Thank god for Chicago screws much less work and easy to replace. John whatever happened to the Pexto shears did you end up painting the handles
Jorge- Not yet, will cover it on Friday’s video! 😃👍
Thank you for another great video, not sure if you have covered it in the past any way you can do a video on your process of sharpening the cutting edges on linesman pliers and diagonal pliers? Some scoutcrafter tips and tricks. Thank you in advance.
Hi Andrew! Check out this video- It has some good sharpening advise in it! =) ua-cam.com/video/BXtQDtX3xfg/v-deo.html
Scout - I was brought to your channel by Klein on Instagram. Really liked your video on the old klein lineman pliers restoration. I have a set that is in worse shape. I dug them up in the back yard maybe 10 years ago, no idea where they came from. I don't think they are Klein. They have an L2 or LZ on the handle. Looks like it was made to have a spring between the handles, one hole on each handle right next to the joint. Any idea what this is? I was going to clean them up like you did and get the Klein replacement handles hoping they fit. These pliers are 7-3/4 inches long. By the way, I have grown to really like these pliers. They were rusted shut but I was able to free it with a lot of work and WD-40.
Hello Darren! Check out alloy-artifacts.org and see if you can match the pliers up here! Start off by typing in Pliers into the search box! =D
Never used copper rivets. I have used pop rivets and Chicago screws. Learned a lot. Thanks
Glen- They are SUPER strong! easy too!
John,, Im soo sorry for bad news but Mike from man cave is in hospice care and not expected to make it. Please pray for him! 😭
heh heh I am so sorry to hear that! I sent him a email last week when he removed his videos from UA-cam, I haven’t heard back. Please give him my best!
