How To Use Copper Rivets

While working on a project, I thought I would show you how to use copper rivets.

Really like that custom tool you made out of the railroad spike. Exellent!

Thanks for making this vid! I need to rivet some horse equipment, and was going to buy a rivet press. Because I have no idea what I'm doing yet. You saved me money!

I love the RR spike set tool. Going to make one tomorrow. Thanks for the cool idea.

I love copper rivets, they are cheep and easy to use and you are so right! Old anvils are very expensive. I've been looking around for a few years now and still can't find one. So for now I just use that piece of round stock and a piece of railroad track.

Great idea with the railroad spike!!

I've not seen a copper rivet before. That was great, thanks. You got a nice piece of round stock to work with too. I'm looking for an old anvil myself but man those things are expensive.

Helpful video, thanks! Cool anvil btw!

[Knifeguyyy]

Very cool man!! I love the railroad spike setter!!

[Hogtownprepper]

Thanks for watching. I've never heard it called that before and I looked at the link you gave me and didn't see the tool I was talking about but If you Google "copper rivet setter" you'll see tool I'm talking about. :)

[Hogtownprepper]

Thanks brother! It was fun to make too.

[RevRonaldu]

what did you use for an Anvil ? That is one huge piece of round stock!

[jameswilkerson]

you can get the rivets and rivet and burr setter at Orscheln farm and home for about $25 for it all and it will make setting the rivets much faster and easier 

[ToddAndelin]

You are right those will not come out...

Not sure where you live but around here it's perfectly legal to walk the tracks and pick them up. Rail workers just toss them to the side after replacing them, it's not worth the hassle to recycle them. As long as you arn't derailing the train to get them no one cares. lol
