The Riveting Essentials† riveting tools are a unique set of tools designed by the author to make riveting easy-peasy and nearly foolproof. Tube Rivets are formed with short pieces of tube, which are passed through holes in the jewelry pieces and the ends of the tube are flared and then flattened to secure the pieces in place. The tube used to form the rivet must be of the proper diameter in order to fit snugly in the holes. And more importantly, the tube must be cut to the proper length—too short and the rivet will not be secure; too long and the wire will bend instead of flatten. Learning to cut the tube to the correct length to form the rivet properly has been the “trickiest” part of learning to rivet, usually requiring a great deal of practice.
In this tutorial, students will learn to use the Riveting Essentials Rivet Gauges† to cut the tube to the correct length every time.
