Simply Rivets
Instructor: Tom McCarthy

Saturday, December 4, 10:00am – 4:00pm
Rivets are used to connect materials without using a torch which makes them perfect for materials that can’t be soldered – wood, plastic, aluminum, titanium. They can also be used if you simply don’t want to solder or don’t have a torch. We will cover various forms of riveting including basic, flush rivets, headed rivets, tube rivets and a relative, the tenon. Students must have some basic metals skills. Bring your favorite tools. This is really low tech and the ArtCenter has all of the hammers we will need. Materials, drills and drill bits will be available from the instructor for a $15 to $20 fee.
