  • blacksmith STD, The Clank

  • I've got to remember that one.

  • Dude... AWESOME! Also, I need to ask you a question... I found that after i was riveting some iron from the scrap yard, sadly without gloves or an apron, there's some bumps that have popped up on my third hand and I'm a little concerned. What should I do?

  • Boric acid...LOTS of boric acid.

  • My problem is that my third blacksmithing hammer is too big and heavy, keeps mashing the rivet. Oh well, guess this technique isn't for me....

    Now back to my bowlegged wife. :)

  • Being a she, I'll have to use Snap on Tools.

  • Hahaha! This gave me a great laugh

  • L.M.A.O. "BUT" I did notice that was very thin metal which make me think that you had to use very SHORT rivits

  • Now that was hilarious! I promise I won't even attempt that! Might do me anvil an injury! :)

  • I laughed. I cried. I ran away. Great presentation I wasn't even watching the video just listening while writing. The first time strangely just didn't get it and had to re watch it. You got me - Raggy

  • lmao holy shit man

  • i only used this once but... the metal was sorta... white hot...

  • haha, its not the size of the hammer, its how you use it

  • lol, rivetjob.

  • Oh! s*@#%! I cannot believe you just did that!.
