Riveting Rivet Essentials, Medieval Armor Techniques #6

I did intend this video to be about 5 minutes long, but it's turned into a full 30 minute magna opus to rivets.

In it I take a look at basic rivets, hinge rivets, and two techniques for sliding rivets and the tools required as well as a brief look at widening rivet holes ... riveting stuff I am sure you'll agree.

I get my rivets in the UK principally from

Chronos Engineering: http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/
Sapphire Products: http://www.sapphireproducts.co.uk/

Remember 1/8 inch is about 3mm and 5/32 inch is about 4mm ... I tend to use both throughout the video.

There is a lot of information here about the acceptable and unacceptable shape of rivets, far too much for an armourer, but it helps to know a bit: https://www.vansaircraft.com/public/Specs.htm

Have fun and happy riveting.
