    Super helpful to this total beginner trying to install a dog door that was a little more involved than expected.
  • This was riveting. Really, most helpful. Have a rivet gun that I bought then didn’t use. 🙄 But now I do need it and know how to use it. Thanks!

    Thank you for posting this phenomenal video. I recently purchased a solo canoe into which I need to install a removable yoke for portaging. The brackets require installation of rivets to secure it to the gunwale and I've never installed a rivet in my life. I'm now feeling much more confident!

    Thank you for putting this video up and showing these instructions is detailed as you did because now I know what I was doing wrong when I tried to use a riveter Another thing I really appreciated is the fact that all the different kinds of rivets and materials like stainless steel and aluminum in the copper and what applications that you should use these different rivets on very helpful thank you

    Hi I learnt a lot you explained very well with details. Thanks
  • @flyingcat2054
    I wondered what I was doing wrong. You have to keep pumping the handle till the piece drops off! Well, are there air powered guns, as I think my hands will give out on placing more than one rivet!
  • @kevinrush4411
    Is there an option so the final revit looks good from both sides?
  • @renostubbs8504
    Nice demonstration mate, does it matter the distance between the holes??
  • @Scorpio-tn4vy
    🥱🙄 If you squeeze the handles shut there will be no pressure to change out adapters.
  • @guyfranks4354
    You didn't mention anything about a rivet's grip range, the thickness of the panels being riveted together versus the rivet's length.
  • Why nobody shows the gun from the back! what the rivet gun has in the hole behind it

    And you have to watch the staff doesn’t hit you in the face when you pop it off
