[2] Removing 1000 copper rivets from a wooden boat

By the end of 2016 I purchased a Dragon sailboat from 1938. This video shows a detail of the of the ongoing restoration process, namely removing over 1000 copper rivets in order to replace the frames. I am no professional boatbuilder and this is no instructional video - I simply compiled some video footage from my personal diary.

I didn't think the air chisel would be so easy, I forgot how soft copper is, great job.

An old craftsman dropped in and suggested this - I myself wouldn't have tried this method.

Yea chiseling the head off a steel bolt is usually the last resort when nothing else works, that's one of those times when two heads are better than one.
I have a friend that's a landscaper, and I'm an electrician, so I tend to over think things, and he's the exact opposite, so between us we usually come up with pretty good plans when we're projecting.

Ich habs mit nem Stemmeisen gemacht, aber es waren Alu-Nieten.... Aber Kupfer könnte auch so funktionieren?

Geht sicher, wenn das Stemmeisen schön scharf ist. Im Prinzip ist ja mein Werkzeug wie ein Stemmeisen. Viele Schläge pro Niete - belastend für die Handgelenke.
