Copper Cookware's Different Rivets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2024
- Cookware is put together in different ways, but one of the main ways is through the rivets - how the handles are attached.
I see all kinds of rivets during the restoration and refurbishment process: there are flat copper ones, modern stainless rivets, rounded copper rivets, and old aluminum ones.
Each holds up and behaves a different way during the retinning process as well as overall lasting against the wear and tear of time and use.
Ever wondered why your handles might get loose? Or what your rivets are made of? Or why they have no tin on them? Answers are here!!
You are Awesome!!!! Thank you for sharing all this information
You are so welcome!
Excellent information. Thank you for your knowledge!
Thank you for watching!
I learn so much from you! Thanks
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it :)
Just bought 4 small copper pots with lids. Brass handles and lids. Interior was painted with some kind of industrial paint. Not a patina and not enamel. Inside is lids were painted as well. No solvent would touch it, even though copper could be seen where it had worn from use. With trepidation, I heated to under cherry. The “ paint” flacked off in black. After pickle, copper was a sweet salmon pink. But one rivet on lid melted. Aluminum I’m assuming. Watched your info on different kinds of rivets. A hollow tube copper rivet was mentioned. Can I replace just the one, or just do them both. Thank you so so much. Alynne
The pots may have been covered with lacquer - sounds about right. And yes, aluminum rivets will melt out. You can of course just replace the one, but if it were me, I'd drill out the other and replace both with copper. :)
You are Awesome. Have been watching all your videos. First Thank you for sharing so much information in one place. I am a metal smith, mostly silver, gold and copper. Actually, my favorite. Have made a few copper vessels. Just bought a set of four pots with lids. Small for my little studio. The pots are not old. Have been spun. Weight seems correct. Interior was spray painted with some kind of industrial paint. Not even acetone was effective. With trepidation, I heated them up to just below cherry. No warping, however, one rivet on lid melted. I’m assuming aluminum. I watched your info on different kinds of rivets. I will try partially hollow copper tube. Hoping tin will fill hollow space when tinning.
Why, thank you! I'm so happy you have enjoyed watching the videos! You might want to try to find a stainless rivet to fill the hole (yes, likely it was aluminum) as a hollow tube will be tricky to fill. (You may have already experimented, in which case, ignore all this lol) Hope it all works out for you!
Hi. I'm in Canada and I would love to know where the best place to get tin? I love your videos and am just learning Thanks
That one is tricky - the only food grade tin I know of is made in Iowa - not sure about Canada, but I know the mint (for the silver in the solder) is based in Canada, so I'd start looking for tin solder manufacturers in Canada! Good luck!
Nicely done! Informative and.....riveting!!
hahaha nice!
Sara, thanks for your videos! So, regarding aluminum rivets...would you ever drill them out while refurb'ing and replace with copper rivets?
Thanks, John, for watching. Yes, sometimes I do drill out the aluminum rivets, especially if they are in really bad shape or loose.
Sara, you mentioned that kettle I sent you has rivets and I was hoping it would be on here so I could see where they are and what kind they are. I know it's probably not in shape to show right now.
The piece has rivets to hold the handles on. I believe they are copper based on how they took tin and cleaned up (I shot this video well before I received your piece). :)
Sara: I have an older Kirkland pot set (stainless) and a lid came apart from its handle. I would like to replace the rivets but have no idea if they are Alum or Stainless?
They are this edition

If you have a choice, go with the stainless rivets in this case to match your stainless body!
@@housecopper Thank you so much.
You shine up like a new penny! LOL Sara, where's the filth, clutter and sweat from the Bead Blaster and the rest of the work shop? Just kidding. How's the kettle poppin'? Did it dissolve completely?
HA! I swear 80% of the time I'm a total shop nerd! The pot and lid are tinned up so nicely. so now it's just the cleaning, polishing, etc. I am pretty sure it's Indian or Turkish made, so the copper composition itself is questionable, but it will be usable when I'm done with it!
