You did great. Simple, easy, priceless. Great idea. If you could cut the casings in stead of cliping them with a diaginal cutter, then slightly file them, then use a balbearing or an object to set in the center, then hit them with a hammer, it could look really great and professional. Thanks for the wonderful video and tip.
6 years later this helped me make my 1st Ka-bar sheath, several other things to come. Great use for otherwise useless 22lr brass. Thanks a load for mentioning the bit size too. I've been reinforcing it with glue between the rivet holes.
Good vid. Aways nice to repurpose old items . I do alot of custom work and casings and shotguns shells as plugs over counter sunk screws instead of wooden plugs
WOW. Really nice video. I'm getting ready to try my first Kydex knife sheath and you just saved me a bunch of money. Not only with the .22 idea (I have a bunch of used short and longs, too), but with using the weight for the striking surface. Thanks and keep up the good info. BTW, I sub'd.
Ok I was looking at video of leather rivets to create elastic band loops for a couple removable tool panels for my tool box and this... This is just plain goddamn awesome!!! Thanks man!!!
Just saw this video. thanks for posting. When I go to the range, I always find 22LR cases, some of which have never been fired (still live rounds). I guess people clear their weapon and just let 'em go. Once fired cases are plentiful. I try to pick up my brass (9mm) and usually end up with a dozen or so of the 22LR empty cases. I think I will start collecting them, just in case I have a need.
I was thinking to flare the edge with a punch then flatten it for a cool look. Yet to try it. I unfortuneately tossed all my 22 shells. Next squirrel or woochuck target practice I will save the shells. Thanks for a great idea !
What if you cut a second casing halfway down length wise and pushed it inside the first casing after cutting them to length, then hammered them together so you'd have the solid flat on both sides?
Have you ever tried this with a shotgun shell? I understand it may be done a different way since the metal part of a shotgun shell is a lot shorter. thank you!
dude you just saved my ass i was making a new case for my boot knife and half way through I found out I was out of rivets thanks a lot. D o you maybe still have any cases plz pm me if you do
@@Lucas-nf7uj without boomers, you would be speaking different languages. Both German and Japanese are a pain to learn how to write correctly. Oh, that’s right, y’all never learned how to write. But I bet you’re a keyboard demon ain’t ya?
Maybe cut a X or cross cut pattern and peen over??... Or flare out w/ a larger punch then peen?? After they have been ground down as gentlemen stated above...just sayin
Too much work. Take a grinder and round one end of a 1/4" rod for an instant flaring tool. Then you can use your ammo as rivets til your heart is content. If the brass is too long, grind it shorter before flaring. Of course, this leaves the fired center of the brass open, so I'd give the casings a wash before using in this manner. FYI, it's very similar to how you'd reload a larger cartridge in operation. I've used my die and press to take casings I didn't want to reload to make grommets in this fashion by simply tapping out the center primer portion in addition to the above steps. (*Perfect for converting your tarps to paracord instead of cheap nylon rope.)
I now regret just tossing all those perfectly good "rivets" that I never knew were rivets, this is awesome

Ax Ike! Or Tina lol
That casing / rivet idea is genius!

That's a cool idea. 22lr are cheap. And you are able to use them twice.. lol thanks for the video
I knew there was a reason why I saved 22 brass great idea just needs a tweak or two rock on brother
I like the idea. Nice work.

Hi! Glad it helped! I'm all out.
hey do u still have sheaths
can you use the 22LR With leather I make leather sheaths ...
thanks the Dogmann....
I haven't, but I don't see why not!
Not a bad idea, but 5 and a half minutes to say drill hole, poke casing, flip, smack? Geez. Millennials.
LOL!
Ok Boomer.
A whole comment just to say "I'm an asshole"? Geez. Boomers.

If u sill have some I will buy one

I wonder if there is a way to peen over the end of the cartridge more like a rivet?
Maybe cut a X or cross cut pattern and peen over??... Or flare out w/ a larger punch then peen?? After they have been ground down as gentlemen stated above...just sayin
