I've used a cold riveter that worked like Marty's Matchbook Makeovers method. It had a very robust chassis like an arbor press. The head ran at about 60-100 rpm. The trick was that unlike Marty's set-up on the drill press the dome forming tool wasn't vertical (though the drive was). The end of the forming tool was off-set 5-10 degrees so that when it was running it appeared to be oscillating. The tool was hardened and polished and when it came down onto the rivet it "walked" around the rivet and deformed it into a very nice looking dome. Oil on the rivets kept the tool from galling the rivet head. There were adjustments so once set it was easy to get repeatable results in a production run. There were different tools for different styles of rivets. When you see a rivet with concentric circles on the head it was probably done with this type of tool. Cheers from NC/USA

Wouldn’t you know it, Scout’s on the job. He started this show with a doggone corn cob. Then on to rivets. He doesn’t like pop. He just kept on talking. The guy never stops. So many types. So many rivets. More types than when I golf and make divets. I like them all Especially for leather. They don’t add weight. They’re light as a feather. Along comes the tools. The dome’s shaped like a dill. He says we can make them. Like we have the skill. Rivets are handy. Scout makes them look nice. But when I do them, I must do it twice. Thanks for the fun. 🤠

I remember in metal shop in Jr high school making a metal box. One side of the box we solderd and one side we riveted. I have a good collection of different rivets including brass rivets for replacing bands on a ford model t transmission. The parts of your video with the copper rivets reminds me of Levi denim pants that my mother quit buying for me when they raised the price to 4.25 from 4.00 so I had to start wearing cheaper jeans. I use to remove the red Levi tag off the rear pocket of the Levi's and sew it on to my cheap jeans so I wouldn't get used as punching bag in school.

Scoutcrafter, in school metalworking classes we were taught how to use a soft iron rivet and then countersink the opposite side and cut the rivet proud. Then ball pein the rivet into the countersink until it fills the countersink entirely. Once filed flat the repair virtually disappears and is my favourite way of attaching spade heads to new handles. If you cannot get soft iron rivets then use an iron nail. Heat to red heat and let it cool slowly to anneal it. Then rivet but he careful as lots of little taps will work harden the rivet. Has been useful for the past 50 years. Great video as always, informative, useful and thoroughly entertaining.

Was able to tighten the rivets on a wooden 6' step ladder. You only need it when you do. Thanks for the upload. I think the ATS is primarily used in aircraft industry. ATS still sells today on their website listing a 22" throat tool. Keeps me searching for a used one. My brother-in-law worked for Boeing years ago. I'm sure if I got serious one could be located in the Seattle area. Never enough. Have a greater one.

Corn cob! who would have thought! I used those copper rivets a lot in leather. I love them. You should make a dome tool for the Dake after peening with a hammer, let the Dake take care of the rest, especially with copper. A lot of the old cars had rivets instead of bolts, probably cheaper having a bucket of rivets than to use bolts. My '64 Chevy C-10 frame is riveted together. Been fun cutting those babies out as needed for ball joints, new brake drums etc. I agree on the pop rivets, I try to use my dome tool to finish those if I can. great video on Rivets!!

John, I wondered if in the past you had ever experimented with small hot rivets? In general, of course, the goal on this channel is a functional, often attractive restoration. As I get better at detailed restorations, personally I get more curious about the really tough stuff - I'll call "museum-grade" restoration. I wonder if one could use either MAP+O2 or OxyAcetline torch to heat smaller rivets, use a small anvil or anvil area, a shaped mandrel like the ones you made for the copper rivets, and peen a clean rivet in a full museum-grade type of restoration? Have any other viewers tried this in the past? I might put this on my "breakthrough skills" to attempt and report back later in the year. Nice segment. A logical follow on to this piece would be grommets.

Interesting John . When I first started my Ironworking career in 1972 , and I gained the nickname "Rivets" . The first long job (1 year ) I had as an apprentice , was working on our County courthouse jail cells . The plate walls were riveted together with 3/8" rivets and a pnumatic riveter with a back=up man. The cells were in the basement , 3rd and 4th floors. So Daily I had to carry welding/cutting supplies , bolts and nuts , and a whole lotta rivets between floors , I can understand why they gave me that nickname.The backup man used a tool that was named in the 1800's. It was a long round heavy piece of steel that had a counter sunk dome on one end named a "HorseCock" , I S**t you Not !

Use permanent (red or green) Loctite, and grind off what you don't want sticking out. The are very easy to use and you don't need a whole lot of tools to get a good looking result. I use brass ones. But, they come in several different metals. Cheap, too.

Great to know! My neighbor's been feeding the deer so I've been finding dried up corn cobs around my place. Bonus is, I won't have to wait until July. Gotta love your "waste nothing" approach to things, Scout. Never heard them called Chicago screws, have heard them called "sex bolts". Now the question is: is a Chicago screw a sex bolt?
