    I really appreciate this video. It took me a while to find a video that showed what was happening to the rivet on the side of the person holding it, rather than the one with the riveting tool. I guess nobody wants to crawl inside a boiler to film someone holding a hot rivet and all the action seems to be on the tool side

    Thank you for showing this. It's pretty cool. A question, though. Why is the head made so thin and flat? It seem that you're giving up some axial strength. I understand that the rivet is mostly there for the shear force, But the axial strength keeps the rivet in place.

    Excellent video and thanks so much for having educational narration and actual work noises instead of elevator music and no narration as we Americans seem to do. Best of luck with your project.

    Whoever was operating that drill press needs to go back to school, not someone I'd allow to operate power tools.

    when i see a riveted structure like a ship hull or a locomotive, how did they get the holes drilled so accurate when there were hundreds of of rivets to put in place?

      As a tradesman, I find your lack of logic mind blowing. I would be given a set of plans with all the measurements marked on, measure the plate, cut to size and shape, mark the center of the holes, center punch the mark, drill the hole, assemble the pieces together with bitumen impregnated paper between the joints, bolt together, then rivet with the heat of the rivet melting the bitumen to seal possible leakage. I had to calculate the length of the rivets based on the number of and thickness of plate being riveted and cut the number required for each piece. In summary, I was a tradesman.

      often with large riveted things they would use what is called a bull riveter that would squeeze the rivet flat, on things like ships or locomotive boilers the locomotive boilers for example would be drilled out or punched rolled and then two sections of boiler barrel would be bolted like you see here and picked up with a crane and brought vertical and riveted using something that had up to in some cased 150 tones of force for the larger rivets on a bull riveter it looks like of like a giant clamp of sorts in a u shape or yoke shape the plates would go in between and be pressed togather or the bull riveter would be hung off a crane and moved into place, this made a tighter seal, formed it better and was a little quieter then say a hammer ringing around it driving it. if you want to see a bull riveter in action check out ballard forge's channel on youtube from washington state in the usa steve there does lots of riveting work using air and hydralic riveters, and its fun to watch it just press the metal togather and then some smoke rolls out like a candle that has just been choked out with a snuffer or what they called an extiguisher or douter in the old days, and its fast to do just that its heavy for steve to move around so he dont use it on all jobs

      Peter Harris also you’re a fucking arsehole. To respond to someone’s genuine interest like that should make you ashamed. I hope someone responds to you that way when you ask a question about the millions of things you know nothing about.

      Are you being facetious? There is nothing about his question that is illogical. Just because you know how it’s done doesn’t mean it’s A bad question. And your response is so highly technical that I’m forced to conclude that you are either incredibly insecure, or being satirical.

    • @michaelvallin55

      Nothing about his question dictates using logic. It’s a technical question. And the fact that you don’t understand the difference makes sense considering you’re a “tradesman” and use your body, not your mind for profit.
