I was following up until the very, very end. I don't have an uncle named Bob!

Seriously- this is a super awesome video. @taciturnforsale, I agree 100%. How lame that I go buy premade rivets!

I love youtube for DIY projects. I've learned how to use a rivet gun and how lame I am for not doing it like this. Great video!

This is really good information. I never imagined a way to make a rivet from a bit of metal like that. You must have listened to a lot of old timers.

I don't say it's wrong but a copper roofing nail is a lot better and easier. Cut a hole to size of nail or a piece of copper wire, insert in hole and hammer both sides, align plates and one hit will fix the joint. Get an old bit of angle iron, drill whatever holes you need for the size of rivet and away to go. Remember brazing things requires heat and is difficult outside. Design things to avoid it when a rivet will do. A rivet won't oxidize your copper and the copper will stay shiny longer.
