How to Easily Attach Sheet Metal to Wood: The "Reverse Rivet" Trick, No Rivet Gun Necessary
It's cute that he thinks that dimestore silicone is going to stick to anything that isn't glass for more than ten seconds, but all he's doing is guaranteeing rot underneath that pointless plate that's going to leak and hold moisture directly against the wood forever.
Content for content sake even if it doesn't make sense. I would really like to see Rain Noe's ID work.
I've been saying this FOR SO LONG! I don't believe he's ever done ID, for a while his bio said "sewing-machine-fixer" or something of the like.
Just bizarre, A poor nail substitute, hideous looking, and guaranteed to fail and leak.
This is called using a nail.
reinventing the nail, for some reason. there are special nails for this purpose - stainless or aluminum and color matched to the coil stock.
I completely don't get it! Because you are not expanding the rivet, why is this any different from a simple stainless pin? You are piloting the diameter and depth of the rivet, so that is contributing nothing whatsoever to the fix - which relies solely on the pin.
