sometime ago I got a whole pallet of rivets for 18 dollars, I finally got the collection into my new pole barn, so many different sizes and types, I gotta think up a project just to make something out of them. If you have a specific project that needs rivets, I may have what you need.

Wow, nice.

 

 

I could have killed one of my customers who dumped a ton of rivets for  scrap because they were "slightly rusty" when he cleaned out his fathers garage. I managed to get a small box that he missed that was sitting on the pile to go with the 3 or 4th load of old tools and junk to the scrapper. He said he had just dumped a couple 5 gallon buckets full on the last trip. I'm betting all the rivet sets and other tools to work with them went before I saw the stuff since he didn't have a clue what they were for.

Wow … wish I had a collection like that….Awsome score.  Just one more thing that makes life easier.  :D

$18 ?? 

great score for sure !!!

A darned nice score!

Well, you shouldn't want for a rivet for like a hundred years. <_<

you still wont have the size you need!

 

I recently got sacks full of large rivets 10 and 12mm roundheads mostly  3/8" and 1/2" shanks, I need to find uses for them

Sweet Score!  Just might be enough to put you on the naughty list to get that extra coal in the stocking  :)

Good score Mike! how come I NEVER run across that kind of thing. <sigh>

 

Frosty The Lucky.

Hope springs eternal for the great deals. I'm headed to the scrap yard in Athens Tn. right now.

3/8 is a good size for tong rivets they have planty of strength.

I will find homes for some soon, I am not as good at making things as most of you, I do a little forgework but im mainly a welder who makes forges and a few tools.

of the 3/8 ones I probably have 2000

I suspect a licensed therapist might find something a little odd about someone with a rivet collection…...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding.

Sort of deal that can bankroll a very nice Quad-State trip...

for you on that side of the pond it may but not from here

Nice catch. I swear though, if you told me 10 yrs ago that some day I'd be jealous of another man's rivet collection.........

I though Blacksmiths just compensated for those feelings of inadequacy by just buying bigger anvils!   :P
