Do not worry. I am still making models, but I am working on another quite tricky project and is quite time consuming, so I made in my free time another DIY video. Primarily because it is fun for me, and It is a pleasant change.

This video was so very interesting. In fact, it was...riveting.

Hey David, I love that you are still making DIY and alternate technique videos! I find many content creators do videos that gives ideas on making your own tools or supplies when their channel is new, and then stop making them when they gain popularity and sponsors. So I just wanted to thank you for adding variety to your channel, and giving me low cost options to experiment with.

Alternate title: A riveting tutorial

To be perfectly honest: I dont know anything about modeling. I watch your videos because your Voice calms me and I get to see the WWII stuff you make.

I will warm this up: counter locking nut:) i am watching your videos with my child. Greeting from Poland

Wow, all these years i thought you were someone that look older.

So, would you say the Metal Gears are Solid?

Thanks, David. Good to see you!

Another wonderful tutorial. Yes, please do more of these! Thanks for sharing David

Thanks for sharing. These tools are generally too expensive for the average or new modeller. It just shows that with a little thought and patience you can come up with something that works so much cheaper. 👍

Excelent! You are a genius. You can explain in a simple way a construction of a tool that help us to improve our works. Thank you from Argentina. Daniel

Very nice option to these commercial versions. Thank you for sharing your alternative tools with us!!

Great video man! I am sure I will try this one. Only remark will be about you handling a file. With plastic it is ok to move file forward and backward. But with metal you should only make forward move with applied pressure. Backward moves doesn't remove any material and make your file dull.

you are so talented and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your techniques and tools!

Takes me back to when I made my own tools - for real aircraft. Super work there @PLASMO - plastic models

Well Done, Thank You for this idea. the Clock/watch gears was an inspired choice. Look forward to future projects.

Very interesting. I use one from the trumpeter, but I’ll see if I do one following your tutorial. Big hug here from Brazil

Awesome home made rivet tools !!!!!!!!!!

BEST build videos on KZfaq!!! Your work is absolutely AMAZING!!!

Thank you for showing this. I had not considered watch gears. Your videos are always neat to follow along with.

Fantastic to watch, your ideas are such a breath of fresh air.

Руки из плеч растут . Молодец 👍👌

Great tips from the Master Modeler. Thanks

What a great idea! I was ready to buy a 'genuine' tool but having watched this, I think I will give making one a go..Thanks!

You are a true master David, cannot think of anything i do not love about your work. Keep it up and thanks for posting hence sharing your creativity!

I like these little tool projects!!

I will definitly try it out! I don't have something like this on my tool rack, so this will become handy if I ll build a plane again.

This is PURFECT! I have been wanting to make my own, just because I COULD, now I CAN THANK YOU!! YOUR AWSOME!!!

Thank you for sharing your creativity 👍🏻

David.......You're a frigging genius, Thanks for everything over the years. You are very cool, you remind me of me

What a resourceful idea! Good help for advance modeler!

Excellent idea and work!

You’re such an artist, keep doing scale models!

Молодец!!! Отличная мысль и воплощение👍

Beautiful tools you made 👏👏👏👏 impressive, we haven't seen you build another scalp model, perhaps you'll start printing your own. We can't wait to see another video of yours.

I have been following this Chanel for more than a year and every time a new video comes its so beautiful and extremely professional, keep up your good work David!✈️

Excellent! Again, loving these DIY videos, thanks 👍

Best modeling channel on KZfaq!!!

The use of old watch gears is a good idea! Awesome video as always!

Pretty cool Plasmo! Excellent rivet tools! 👍👍

Of course! Clock cogwheels! 😮🌴 Dang it, I just spent a small fortune on "Rosie" tools last year. Please make more of these toolmaking videos. Maybe I can still save money on something that I didn't know I needed for modelling ... 😉

Wow! Great work!!

Again, I love these videos and look forward to seeing more

These look better than any tool that you can buy commercially. I made the small part folder and love these.

This video is unique, I was looking for something similar, thank you so much David

Nice work David, simple and effective with a great result. Time to smash my old watch!

You are a master modeler,I can watch your videos all day.

man i havent watched a plasmo video in so long, feels like coming home

Excellent tools. Nice job. Always nice to see your videos.

I love watching you build models but more of these home-made tools would be great. It's nice watching you use your modelling skills to create things to create models.😁 Your tools are finished to a high standard too, don't look home-made, and probably far better quality than some of the rubbish on sale nowadays. Using steel rules as a cheap source of metal is a clever idea, nice straight edges and 90° corners ~ very handy and, of course, really easy to measure.😀 Cheers for now, Dougie.

Excellent, as always, David. Keep up the good work!!

A creative and minutius work!

Nice work, great idea.

Another excellent idea! One more for me to build. Thanks.

Thanks for this "shot and sweet" video. Making these riveting tool will be quick and easy. I like all your videos, but I like best the ones that make specialty tasks easier.

I wondered why you would cut up a perfectly good steel ruler for this, then I recognized you had already done so for your photoetch bender. The ruling marks are good measuring points on the bender, and good glue-holding "tooth"" on the riveting tool where smooth metal could slip out. Very subtle.

great creativity.

Very good idea, thank you Plasmo!

From scale builder to tool builder, nice job Plasmo

just amazing very good skill

Nice! Just a small helpful tip. Instead of the superglue for the thread, I would use a threadblocker. Makes it easier to lose the nut if the need should ever arise.

Nice to see the face behind the skills. Good tips David !!!

Brilliant idea & you can customer them to your liking. 👍🏻😁🥇

Great little tool. Excellent job on the video!

I really enjoy your videos, they are so relaxing to watch. Hope to see a new one soon.

To have the ability to be creative is the best gift that man can have.

Thank for sharing, your work is very beautiful

Nice, very great idea 😇👌

Very nice. I find using embossing tape helpful when making rivets on difficult areas.

Simplest ideas are often the best. 👍

Yet another amazing DIY video!

Ingenious.

Very cool!!! Thanks for sharing

Awesome always high quality

That is awesome! I’m off to find a clock maker/repairer! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!

Very cool, next level thinking

Wow brilliant, great do it your self tutorial.

Bellisimos tus videos y Excelentes tus trabajos querido amigo

That's a great idea!! Thx for sharing

Your series with hand made tools became more and more interesting. All the best for You! ;)

This video was so riveting

Echt Super David. Danke für dieses Video.

FANTASTICO.!!!!!!!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS.!!!!!

Totally brilliant idea. I was just looking at buying a set and saw the prices . . . very very expensive. What you produced was easily as good as 'Rosie the Riveter', which is deemed as the best on the market. I'm thinking of trying out some of the small Dremel circular saw blades that might not even need the teeth grinding down from square. I also need a curved blade for getting into the small areas like between the wing and the fuselage. This could simply be a section of circular saw that doesn't have to turn . . . similar to the galaxy riveting tool. Many thanks for heading in this direction. Should be good fun too.

Brilliant!

Brilliant! And may be customised as you like!!!

Very good tutorial

now i can keep the used gears for making my rivet tool.tqvm.

You’re a genius.

Great idea

very nice homemade tool - great vid thanks for sharing.

Great! Always the best! Thank you so much for your video really outstanding!!!!

Excellent, as usual

Great! I'll do it. Thanks!
