Common Metal Shop Tools: Riveting
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2020
- These guides to the common tools found in a metal shop are meant to serve as introductory demos. They were created to help introduce students to equipment at a strange time when personal distancing requirements don't allow gathering around equipment to learn about it, by a teacher who couldn't think of any better solution.

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!
Most comprehensive video on rivets that I've watched. Thank you.
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.
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
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
Went looking all over the Internet on some tutorial on Rivets. This is very useful, to the point and well edited.
amazing the graph you show how to determine the length of the rivet took the confusion out of my head
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)
This guy is awesome. Mr. Bird, I wish I could shake your hand, sir. The derision (16:24) was so palpable for the plebian forms of rivets, it made me burst out in laughter. And as a kindred spirit in the love of good craftsmanship, I appreciate your sentiments.
Thank you Mr. Bird. This video helped me understand that I knew nothing about riveting, and I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to view this video. Yes, there are good videos on CZcams, but your video was better than good. Informative, and impeccably produced! I do have something to say about the “split screen” issue....I LIKED IT! Splitting at that crucial moment when I needed to see, and understand what you did. I am new to riveting, but I do understand when I see someone exceptional at their trade.....and one who can be creative with functionality in mind. I do hope you have more videos posted. If not, please continue posting your work!
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
Wow! That was so comprehensive and wonderfully explained. Thanks very much.
Excellant basic info. I will share this when apprentices ask about rivet. Thumbs up
Worthwhile video! Enjoyed watching. Thanks.
I loved learning how to make a handmade rivet. Very useful video!
This video is made so well! Thank you very much - you really solved me some problems!!
Wow. I thought i knew a lot but i found so much info here to consider. Thank you for your making these videos.
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.
Thank you, you are a very good teacher for sure.
This video was VERY helpful, thank you!
Nice work, thank for sharing
Awesome work!
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.
Great video. I really learned a lot and am eager to learn to combine rivets and wood. I'm subscribing.
This is great, thank you!
Fine instruction and editing.
Thanks for the awesome information
Wonderful video!
I like this video thank you for sharing to view and i wish your channel more success
Excellent, thank you...
Great presentation & excellent bench work, thanks!
I appreciate how excited you are about rivets!
It is IMPOSSIBLE not to be excited about rivets!!!!!! They open so many doors to so many magic lands!!!!
must see videos... thanks for sharing..
Absolutely riveting
Super rad. Thank you.
Thank you so very much, great video!,,,,
Very very interesting!
Extremely interesting and engaging. I had uninspiring metal shop and woodworking teachers at school and was more interested in languages and literature, but as an adult hobbyist I’m getting interested again. Shame I’m not in Norrh America or I would love to take one of your classes!
Well done!
Thank YOU very much 😁
Great video, thank you. Any chance you can make the other 18 videos available for watching again? :D (not available as of 18Feb2024, atleast to me as a german viewer)
Best "rivet" video I've seen! Are aluminum rivets stronger than copper?
You work like I do. "IDFK what the hell this is called, but it's a clampy holdy thing and it works."
Thank You✌👏
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?
Great video for this novice, thank you. What is the make of the rivet press you are using?
It is a Hanson Rivet bench riveter (Model HR-141)
Great!!
Awesome.
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
Hi, I have an old metal vacuum wand I want to rivet a button lock on that came off. I used a pop rivet but it is a little loose and I would prefer to go back to the factory look of a tubular rivet. I was looking into a hand rivet squeezer but I am not sure if they would work in this application since I need to be able to squeeze the rivet on the inside of a 1 1/4 inch tube about an inch deep inset. It would probably work if the short end of the squeezer could be placed on the inside of the tube but from what I can tell it looks like that end is for the head of the rivet so the long end that squeezes the back side of the rivet would have to be on the inside and that would not work I don't think. Do you know what type of setting tool I would need? I hope this makes sense.
-Thanks
Rivet nut?
This is riveting stuff.
quick question, at 3:54 you created a rivet with button head on both sides...you stated that the rivet tool was set up with a concave surface on both sides bottom and top. is this correct, or was it actually concave on one side and convex on the other. I am in need of doing a rivet like this button head on both sides loose enough to allow movement between two pieces. thank you sir!
To make a rivet round on both sides, you need a concave set on each side or else you will get a flat spot. To allow rotation (if that's why you want it loose) I have found it best to make one hole fit the rivet snugly and the other fit loosely so that the rivet grips one layer and leaves the other free to move. But if you mean loose so there is space between the layers, you need to include a removable layer when riveting. Otherwise you'll just get sloppy rivets.... Hope that helps. Just experiment. That's the only way to really get what you want.
Hi is a plaque like the Prada triangle applied to clothing and bags in this same way?
Yes! Grommets, eyelets, rivets are all the same sort of connection.
would you happen to know how watertight riveting on early 20th century ships worked, to prevent ingress of seawater?
I don't know! But I asked Evelyn Ansell who is curator at the Herreshoff Museum and she replied (in a casual, not really meant to just be pasted here way, but I think that only makes this answer BETTER, so I am totally just copying and pasting and hoping she doesn't stop taking my calls):
"I believe riveting steel hulls was a hot process, so there is that extra possibility of goopiness. By which I mean, a decently tight seal since you're whamming the rivet in there when it's hot and soft, and then shrinks tighter as it cools after it's been riveted. (In wooden boats rivets are not usually a leaking issue because wood swells). So I think that generally made a pretty decent seal, tho there may very well have been more to the process? I don't know if they used material in the actual seams...? But also, metal plated boats did leak! Though I don't fully know how the caulking process worked on metal hulls, it was a specialized skill - they had "caulkers" come down from Bath Ironworks to work on some of the metal plated cup defenders in Bristol, for example. I also know that the metal plated cup defenders were notoriously leaky because they were very thinly plated and also they were made of different kinds of metals above and below the waterline, and so those joints tended to leak because the different alloys reacted differently to temperature changes."
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?
You can! Easiest to do with a pre-formed rivet. Make the bottom hole fit your rivet snugly but make the top hole (which goes against the shoulder of the rivet) larger. That forces the rivet to grab the bottom layer without catching the top one. Pop rivets do not like movement, they are bullies.
Hi Sir. Where to buy metal thing to knock down the semi tubular rivet by hand?
I want to use it for helmet button
aircraft-tool.com/shop/main.aspx has LOTS of hand set options....
@@HistoryofID TQ for the reply
One word to describe this video.......wait for it........RIVETING!!
22:22 They shall be punished by the hands of Thor!
Where is ur hapnin' suit??
THIS IS RIVETING!!!!
What is the whole liability thing in the beginning? Sorry but this is youtube, besides, even if you got everyone to sign a release of liability it will be useless since you cannot, by law, sign away your rights. Not that anyone will ever find you anyway. This just makes the video look silly Matthew, sorry buts it's true.
Having said all of that, the rest of the video was good thank you. I clicked like three times :p
AGREED! It isn't ideal. These videos were made as a COVID Coping Strategy because I am expected to demonstrate equipment to students who must be 6 feet apart, cannot see the equipment, and might not even be in the room. Because I made these myself, for use in a school shop, and liability concerns were impossible to clarify, I figured you could endure a disclaimer more gracefully than I could a lawsuit....
@@HistoryofID Hey cheef, what's with the autistic beginning?
Hii
If only they had let girls take "shop" when I was in 7th grade!
Took a dozen videos to find you!!!
Plenty on Pop Rivets, but THIS is the info I sought & it is Excellent!
Thank you!
Matthew, are you on Instagram? Because I feel in need to follow you. 😅 This was a perfect way to spend my evening
