Blacksmithing - Forging dome head rivets

This is how you can forge nice rounded dome head rivets. With the same tools you can do this by hand at the anvil also. Adjust the tools for any size rivet.

You are probably the best blacksmith on YouTube. Not just because you do great work but because your videos are so clear and there is only the sound of tools at work. Great videos

I have bucking and heading tools, but I never thought of ‘setting’ the rivets before using the heading tool. My rivets are strong, but didn’t look right. You’ve once again helped me solve an issue that has just baffled me. Thank you!

Thanks so much for that video, I have to set some rivets, but couldn't find the tools to crimp them in confined place, I thought I was gonna need to machine them but now I see how you fabricated them and it's so much easier.

FABULOUS, working with your hands, just as i remember it in Metalwork at school, 57 years ago.

[johnsumner]

You know you are a master of your craft when you make your own tools in order to make something else. It's nice to watch a master work.

He has a very nice shop and tools. I've never seen a anvil that big. Very nice set up with charcoal for heating the iron
