Or, there is a lot of riveting (pun intended) information in my main thread, The Aerodrome Studio. Solid Rivets 101 (which is definitely still a work in progress). If you had even a couple of days, you could overnight some copper rivets to yourself.that would be a very easy rivet to peen with a hammer to get your project finished.įor more info on solid rivets, when you have the time, take a look at: If you are not sure what that sort of joint looks like, do a quick Google search for pop rivets and see how people normally join materials with them. While that whole paragraph is very complex.the point is, design for the fastener you are using.if only one side is pretty, make the joints only show one side. (wish I had the time to draw you a diagram of that). The whole thing could then be riveted into a larger box, with with the flange toward the inside.
