In this video, I show you how to forge your own homemade rivets. Having the own ability to make your own blacksmith rivets can be very useful, especially for odd projects.
This video is part of a series I've done on blacksmith rivet making. I show you how to make all the blacksmith rivet tools that you will need.

Smashing. Hard hitting. He should expand on it. Bang on it. Hammering the topic. Ready SET go. Steeling the show. Fasten-ating.

Excellent work. But now that it's riveted, those two pieces of steel will not twist or move. As with tongs, heat up the riveted section -- then quickly quench in water and jiggle the two pieces of metal. Should get nice smooth movement if you keep wiggling the two pieces of metal as it cools down in the water

If you heat up the pin before you pass it through the tang, you will create a mushroom effect when trying to hammer it through, try putting the rivet in first when it's cold and then use a small blowtorch to heat it up when it's already inside the hole.

Clean work. 👍

A simple way to handle the rivet blank is to cold cut the rivet length almost through at the end of a handy length of rod before putting it in the fire. Heat the blank on the end of the rod. Place it in the rivet hole hot. Wiggle to break it off the rod and hammer away. No need to muck around with little pieces with big tongs.

How did you make the rivet block and the rivet tube thing? Is it just a drilled out thing?

Hey brotha awesome looking rivet. Are you supposed to quench after it’s set to harden?

@ 4:48 The very reason why it is better to make your rivet first, have the right size hole, then only one head to set. The wheel was invented years ago. You don't have to try and do it again.

I had the sound turned down so I couldn't hear everything. But basically you're saying it's not really cost effective to make all your own rivets except in certain cases?
