Just type in the search box “Riveting With a Tube or Crimp Tube” or “Riveting With a Wire Rivet”. This will prove to be very helpful for first-timers. List of materials is included but we are not limited to that, bring whatever you’d like and let’s play. I’m interested in making components for a bracelet and/or earrings. I’ll bring extra material. I hope you’ll join me for a fun day of disk cutting, dapping, hammering and riveting. This is not a class, but a learning experience and hopefully a lot of fun.
