Nice job on the rivet header. Quick, simple, and very effective. My kind of tool!!

Thanks, Gary. I'm going to make some headers tomorrow and the tip about making the top slightly convex will help. Much appreciated.

great to see you back in the forge :) really enjoy your work. thank you

Gary, THANKS for the videos. Been Going through them and just wanted to take a moment and say thank you. Your way of teaching is very good. Very happy I stumbled across your videos. Again THANKS!

Great idea Gary and thanks for sharing - have a nice Christmas and new years!

Legend. I've seen a few videos on how to make them but by far this is the easiest and best

Gary, Thanks for a great tip and video, I immediately went to my workshop and made one out of some inch and a half round. Thanks

Good video. Ive made this same tool in 4 sizes from 1/4"-5/16"-3/8"& 1/2". Super handy to knock out a few rivets when needed. I'm making mine to leave a 1-3/4"-2" long body under the head. If a shorter rivet is needed it's easy to just cut the end off to the needed length

Brilliant to watch, and agree with the jollop on tools / drills. 👍🏻

Great Job. Man you make me wish I had the time to get my forge going again. Keep the videos coming.

I like your vice clamp, I frequently use the same type.

Simply awesome. Thank you.

Great video as always!

Looks clear ...I put some beans to it Thanks Gary

This tool is very handy, i made one for 8 mil but made the mistake of drilling the hole also 8 mil, i later changed it to 8,5. The only thing you have to keep in mind is to drill your tong holes also 8,5 mil. Great video as always, cheers.

Brilliant! Thanks.

You're the best! Thanks. Now I can't decide what to do next, figure out the horseshoe heart or make one of these that works ;-) Great looking sweatshirt too :-D

Thank you. This was very helpful.,

i need a couple of these

Great Video, maybe a tool for forming a domed head once the rivet is being completed on a pair of tongs? Keep up the great content

Love your videos! This is a great tool. Ironically, I attempted to make a rivet heading tool today, was not pleased with the outcome. Please make a video on making a heading tool. “Dome shaped” head. Thanks, god bless.

excellent and easy to make and use, thankyou. But please teach the new guys to use a drill vice as if their drill sharpening is not as good as yours and the work spins it could be harmful. More videos please...

Great video....thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Excellent.

Fantástico! Parabéns!

Gary! Thanks! I have tried this before, and looks like the oil was the missing bit of knowledge.

Very very good , creative man

Love that oil can! Where can we get one?

Полезное приспособление👍

“Worth its weight in weight in horse shit.” I’m using that from now on... lol.

I love coming here for a bit of sanity after watching too much MSM BS. Thanks Gary.

A “nats gonads” thats good stuff

If you drill out the other end to a different size you could use the same tool for another rivet.

Is stainless a good metal for these kinds of applications? I happen to have a lot of it. Hate drilling it though...

просто и локанично.

Would there be any disadvantage to using an inductive bolt heater to heat the rivet compared to the furnace? (for those of us without a furnace and subject to strict air quality management laws here in California).. It is a versatile construction technique for example used to make some beautiful and rather big structures incrementally with rivets and plates - like parts of the old Paris Metro, or in Spain.

Smart man

hello from iraq with you well done

What Oil do you use?

You could put a other size on the other side

Lubricant or Cutting Oil?

"Easy Peasy" you Cheeky Buggar

A gnat's gonads bigger. Lol

What the hell is this rambling about?? Does he actually get into the rivet tool at all? If so get back with a time stamp.

No one uses rivets any more because you can't tell the tinsel strength on a single rivet.
