If you heat up the pin before you pass it through the tang, you will create a mushroom effect when trying to hammer it through, try putting the rivet in first when it's cold and then use a small blowtorch to heat it up when it's already inside the hole.
Excellent work. But now that it's riveted, those two pieces of steel will not twist or move. As with tongs, heat up the riveted section -- then quickly quench in water and jiggle the two pieces of metal. Should get nice smooth movement if you keep wiggling the two pieces of metal as it cools down in the water
@ 4:48 The very reason why it is better to make your rivet first, have the right size hole, then only one head to set. The wheel was invented years ago. You don't have to try and do it again.
A simple way to handle the rivet blank is to cold cut the rivet length almost through at the end of a handy length of rod before putting it in the fire. Heat the blank on the end of the rod. Place it in the rivet hole hot. Wiggle to break it off the rod and hammer away. No need to muck around with little pieces with big tongs.
I had the sound turned down so I couldn't hear everything. But basically you're saying it's not really cost effective to make all your own rivets except in certain cases?
Nice looking rivet dude.
Was waiting for a cool down and open close looseness test. 🤷♀️
Amazing skill! That's a good guide about the art of making rivets in the old school style! You rocked man!

Thanks! Also thanks for showing what can go wrong and how to recover. 👍👍
How did you make the rivet block and the rivet tube thing? Is it just a drilled out thing?
This channels videos are absolutely riveting :D
I’ll see myself out
Smashing. Hard hitting. He should expand on it. Bang on it. Hammering the topic. Ready SET go. Steeling the show. Fasten-ating.

Yes answers the question good enough. Great job man :) thanks.

Are your rivet tools made or purchased? Trying to figure out how to make a set.
