Reverse Pop Rivets Fasten Metal to Wood?!

With this simple 'hack' you can use conventional pop rivets to fasten sheetmetal to WOOD for a nice clean installation!! This short video shows you that no special tools are needed for quick, clean fastening of sheetmetal trims to most any wood substrate. This IS NOT a universal solution for all (not even most) sheetmetal installations but, rather, a great alternative for jobs where cosmetics are more important than overall strength of attachment so installer judgement is required!

Or just a roofing nail.

@NextLevelCarpentry Год назад

Oh, so you're THAT guy! No next level workmanship from you then? 🤨

@dragonmanmark Год назад

I thought that too but the esthetic is not the same.

@davidprins9401 Год назад

Pounding the pin in expands the rivet. The pin is now driven into new wood like a finish nail, and the head has expanded against the drilled wood. Having both these, along with the consistent appearance, makes it more than a nail. I like it!

@EngineerMikeF 8 дней назад

For a woodsy application like that, try natured alcohol (instead of denatured)

@WildSuns42 5 лет назад

I grew up in a sheet metal shop and learned from the best of the old timers but I have never seen that trick before.... Thanks I look forward to making use of that idea some day.

@cr500mike 5 лет назад

Cool of you mentioning Howard - we can only hope that folks will remember us and speak highly of us . That's the measure of a good person - as is speaking well of a good man . Cheers friend ...

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Thanks... good folks like Howard live on in our memories even though their passing leave a hole in our hearts. Best, Matt

@peterbeaumont9496 5 лет назад

Great video, I’ve used pop rivets before to attach sheet metal to a timber garage door, but I never thought to reverse the pin in the rivet. Another watch and learn moment thank you

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Sounds like an ideal application Peter... you're certainly welcome

@tk931340 5 лет назад

Awesome tip Matt, and the story at the end is priceless. We all have that one person that showed compassion and knowledge. Thx for sharing your memories of Howard.

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Having that 'one person' really makes for a rich life, doesn't it? Thanks for commenting on Howard's memory... its quite meaningful in these times of social media and lightning fast changes. Best, Matt

Truly a great way to protect window sills from rotting. Perfect timing to me. Thank you for sharing.

@billwilson6096 5 лет назад

Thanks Matt for passing this trick on. I can see a lot of applications for this procedure. Considering your sheet metal expert has been using this method for years is convincing.

@SmokeFlame1 5 лет назад

That reverse rivet is a tremendous idea, I'll be using that for sure. Never disappointed in your videos.

@alyoung8910 3 года назад

Wow! What an awesome idea! I install a ton of ceiling grid & tile and use pop rivets all the time. Never thought about installing them reverse into wood. Thanks for sharing!!

@ericm5745 5 лет назад

one of the best and cleanest ways I've ever seen attaching metal to Wood. tell that sheet metal guy that's one of the best techniques I've seen in a good minute hats off.

Considering you're in-between shops, thanks for taking the time to post this little nugget. Nice story at the end too. I made a couple of chopping boards from and old Oak framed sofa which belonged to my mother-in-law. Each time we use them we'll be reminded of our times together.

@brothyr 5 лет назад

Wait a minute... that's a nail.

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Yes... and no, Adam. In an installation where pop rivets are being used for other connections a nail would look 'out of place' IMHO... but then again there's lots of times when that wouldn't matter so much. Best, Matt

@DieCastoms 5 лет назад

I know, I am curious how this is much better than a finish nail and a matching washer? It LOOKS neat and is certainly a neat on-the-site solution when you don't have the 'right' stuff (not that this is wrong, if it works). Still, it's something I will keep in mind for a few projects.

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

@@DieCastoms where would you find a coated finish nail and 'matching washer'? Keep in mind that matching washer head screws WERE on site and I chose this as 'the 'right' stuff' on purpose, not as a inferior substitute from lack of preparation, hence the disclaimer 'it's not a universal solution'. Slip it into your bag of tricks for 'someday'? Best, Matt

@johnmontague69 5 лет назад

That is a good finish. It looks better than nail heads and washers sticking out. Think I'd seat the sill onto some caulking or construction adhesive just to make sure thise little pins don't give way in the wind. Yes, another brilliant way to finish sills. Cheers Matt ☺

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Agreed, @@johnmontague69 ... the sill caps got sealed to the glass with bronze silicone to assure their integrity but a 'bed' of caulk underneath the flashing wasn't necessary for this installation because, despite being old and checked, the sills are incredibly dense and held the rivet pins with tenacity! Your mention of additional adhesive tells me you've been around enough variety in on site conditions to know when extra measures are necessary and have the sense to apply them so thanks for adding your comment for benefit of other viewers. Best, Matt

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

Thanks tohdubg, glad you like the videos! A word of caution: the new shop is no where near as impressive in appearance as certain well known PBS shops so I hope you'll not be disappointed. It will be extremely versatile and functional though... I wouldn't have it any other way... so I think it will be meaningful to viewers like you though. Best, Matt

Cool Johnny... I'll let Sam know next time I see him... I asked him specifically if he was OK with me doing a video to show 'his' idea and picture of his truck.

@chrisolds7698 3 года назад

What works even better is to install a hook strip first. A piece of metal formed to the same profile as the outside cap that is nailed or screwed to the existing sill. The “kinked” front of the hookstrip slips into a hem that is formed on the outside piece . This method prevents high winds from blowing it off. Worked for me for 40 years as a union architectural sheet metal worker.

@DigiConSoo 5 лет назад

That was fasten nating. I was riveted to my chair, watching you hammer home this great tip. Memories of good times and good friends are the spice of life. Building things by hand infuses the object with those memories and gives them value beyond the sum of their parts. Great video! Brent

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

@MJCPeters 5 лет назад

This is a perfect solution to a project I am working on now. I am adding a 6" roll flashing border on a wall, to give it the industrial look. I was looking for fasteners that would give that same industrial look without protruding and catching on passerby. I'll use adhesive and reverse rivets and I bet it will look great. Thanks!

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

MJC Peters, this does sound like a great solution for your project. If there's potential for clothes catching you might want/need to hit the rivet heads with a smooth file after driving in case there's any little burrs to snag stuff... but in any case this will be far better than hex head bolts or regular flat headed nails... Good luck! Best, Matt

@trakyboy5128 5 лет назад

That's way useful !!! I've looked for a way to attach my bent aluminum for hiding bad facia that they could not afford to replace. Since however I've found color matched galvanized nails... but in a high moisture area this trick would be great inexpensive solution

I just finished a standing seam roof on my new shop, so did a zillion rivets, but this would sure be useful to know. Thanks for sharing!

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

New shop, eh? Seems to be a trend lately... hope it's all you want/expect it to be Neal! Coincidence is amazing sometimes, right? Most of the fasteners the guys used on this house were screw-type for holding power in wind... especially in that canyon, but there's a few details like these sills where the reverse rivets were exactly the right 'touch'. Best, Matt

Thanks Vicki... it IS easy and handy to have in your bag of tricks for who knows what and when! Sorry I didn't do an up close shot of the vise grips. I made them as a heavy duty upgrade of these that are available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0000TFGFU/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d They're smaller but just might get it done for your needs? Best, Matt
