Thread: riveting advice
20/03/2011 16:24:23
thanks for the advice jason it sounds like a good idea i would have a fully solderd boiler and still have the rivets for show. the boiler is for a dairy engine so would not be used in public.thanks again jason and sorry for the late reply

hi
a trick i read years ago in a gunsmiths book. when try ing to heat up a job say a reamer you have made that goes to a very fine point and you burn the end off trying to heat it evenley. heat a tin of lead lower the job in it will heat it evenly ready for quenching .hope this is of use to someone
regards ed
