How To Make Tube Rivets: Tool Time Tuesday

[@markroy2098]

Thank you! After watching this video I successfully riveted the battery contacts back onto my vintage Metz 45 CT-1 flash gun :)

[@MelissaMuir]

That is awesome. I am so glad it was helpful

Thank you for your clear instruction and well done video. I’ve been working on tube rivets, but your approach will be most helpful. I’m eager to try again.

Thanks for sharing... I have two steel semi tubular rivets I need to re-set on a couple handles for a project I'm refurbishing. And in looking up a DIY method your video came up in the search. I didn't think to use a center punch to start the flare... after seeing you do it I was like - well duh! Why didn't I think of that? lol The size clincher I need for these rivets is $25+ - If this works for me, which I don't see why it wouldn't. Saving that cost just to set two rivets is a plus. So thanks again for sharing the knowledge. cheers...

[@MelissaMuir]

So glad it was helpful.

[@YknotLearnall]

@@MelissaMuir - BTW - it worked like a charm. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. cheers...

[@Liburni]

thanks Melissa for another nice education class :)

[@MelissaMuir]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@terp4u2]

What size hole and drill bit for the 3x3 rivets?

[@MelissaMuir]

It is 3mm.

[@angelhewitt3077]

Hi...what do you use as spacers?

[@MelissaMuir]

All sorts of things. I use beads, tubes, or whatever else I can find or make that will give me the desired spacing.

[@donnaanasse5177]

I want to know how to make your gorgeous bracelet.

[@MelissaMuir]

Thank you. That is one of the projects in on my online workshop: Freeform Cuffs. It isn’t being offered right now. But be sure to subscribe to my KZbin channel and email list and I will let you know when I will be running it again.

Melissa - it appears as if that hammer is on closeout at Micro Tools and also, - - sold out. Can you please find out if they will be stocking it. I had tried to buy it one other time directly from you but was too slow that time too!!

I will have them personally next week. You can order it now and I will send it as soon as I have it. The link is in the description.
