Thank you so much. I wish I had seen this before the "YOU CAN WELD ALUMINUM SUPER EASY WITH THESE RODS!!!!" videos. Half of my welds (brazing?) failed. My surface where cleaned well. I think it had to do with the aluminum being to thick to maintain the heat. It was L shaped 1"X 1 and 1/4" and roughly 3/16" thick. I was attaching 3" wide straps that where thin. Even with MAP gas it wouldn't get hot enought to consistently "weld" bond together. Steves rivets seem like a better solution for mechanical bonding.

Fantastic! I also never knew this was how it could be finished. Any Gruman body truck or jet has billion of these. Little did I know this could be a DYI. Thanks for taking the time and using your skills to make this video. Reading the comments you can now call yourself the best educator on KZbin. I'm 68 and had no clue. Thumbs up n subscribed.

The idea to do this with your own stock is cool! Never occurred to me. Recently I was cleaning up my favorite pliers to give to my son, and suddenly noticed the beautiful rivet that holds the two halves together - virtually invisible when ground flat and polished, and taken for granted by me. That led me to bump into your nice best-practice sharing video. Thank you!

Never hold a piece of metal with your hand when drilling with a drill press if it gets caught it can spin the metal now you have a spining blade I've seen someone have to go to the E.R from that use a clamp or weight. The counter sink tool we call that one a rose bud and use it to deburr in aerospace great video i enjoyed it.

I am sure he is well aware of how to use his tools. Why is it everyone becomes a safety Nazi on you tube? In all fairness he is drilling a soft gumming type of metal that will never “catch” when drilling as slow as he is. I think I am going to start a new award for safety Nazis and call it the Peoples PC a-hole of the day award.

I can see the same flush surface rivets setup on my old hack 5" engineer's set square. It's had a hard life abused by many but still gives an accurate 90 degrees. The newer set i recently bought (clean shiny and of small sizes) appear to have all been brased-welded with no sign of any rivets. I bet that if they were ever dropped that's the end of them for accuracy.

@georgegoertzen47236 жыл бұрын
I think a little more metal in the head of the rivet would have held the pieces together better and kept the metal from bending. It was only able to bend because the rivet failed. A little more counter-sink would have done the job. But the rest of your work is exceptional and I learned a few tips from you to help me out in the future. Thanks.

In additional to my previous comment in the aeorospace technology the solid rivet is used instead of welding like aircraft fuselage such as Boeing etc. using basic tools nearly The difference is mini pneumatic 1.4 kg hammer ( price is $30) and bucking bar instead of hammer and vise earl years flush rivets are hand made for steam tanks with basic tools
