    Countersink it to 100 degrees and you'll get a far stronger joint, aviation practice .

    This why you want to pick up those old well made hand tools like reamers and all types of metal tools when you see them cheap at a yard sale. They may be invaluable later.

    Never hold a piece of metal with your hand when drilling with a drill press if it gets caught it can spin the metal now you have a spining blade I've seen someone have to go to the E.R from that use a clamp or weight. The counter sink tool we call that one a rose bud and use it to deburr in aerospace great video i enjoyed it.

      I am sure he is well aware of how to use his tools. Why is it everyone becomes a safety Nazi on you tube? In all fairness he is drilling a soft gumming type of metal that will never “catch” when drilling as slow as he is. I think I am going to start a new award for safety Nazis and call it the Peoples PC a-hole of the day award.

    The idea to do this with your own stock is cool! Never occurred to me. Recently I was cleaning up my favorite pliers to give to my son, and suddenly noticed the beautiful rivet that holds the two halves together - virtually invisible when ground flat and polished, and taken for granted by me. That led me to bump into your nice best-practice sharing video. Thank you!

    Thank you so much. I wish I had seen this before the "YOU CAN WELD ALUMINUM SUPER EASY WITH THESE RODS!!!!" videos. Half of my welds (brazing?) failed. My surface where cleaned well. I think it had to do with the aluminum being to thick to maintain the heat. It was L shaped 1"X 1 and 1/4" and roughly 3/16" thick. I was attaching 3" wide straps that where thin. Even with MAP gas it wouldn't get hot enought to consistently "weld" bond together. Steves rivets seem like a better solution for mechanical bonding.

    In additional to my previous comment
    in the aeorospace technology
    the solid rivet is used instead of welding like aircraft fuselage such as Boeing etc.
    using basic tools nearly
    The difference is mini pneumatic 1.4 kg hammer ( price is $30) and bucking bar instead of hammer and vise
    earl years flush rivets are hand made for steam tanks with basic tools

  • @peteb2
    @peteb2 5 лет назад +1

    I can see the same flush surface rivets setup on my old hack 5" engineer's set square. It's had a hard life abused by many but still gives an accurate 90 degrees. The newer set i recently bought (clean shiny and of small sizes) appear to have all been brased-welded with no sign of any rivets. I bet that if they were ever dropped that's the end of them for accuracy.

    I think a little more metal in the head of the rivet would have held the pieces together better and kept the metal from bending. It was only able to bend because the rivet failed. A little more counter-sink would have done the job. But the rest of your work is exceptional and I learned a few tips from you to help me out in the future. Thanks.

    • @opusprimum7681
      @opusprimum7681 5 лет назад +2

      A steeper angle with a regular countersink bit would have left more supporting material.

    • @pantac4493

      You can’t countersink to the point of a knife edge because it will cause rivet shearing
