Help! Need Rivets

[Sir Wolf]

in a pinch use a nail. cut the shaft to length and peen it. i think they have "brass coated" nails for those brass carpet ends (where carpet and hard floor meet)

I tried that. It didn't flatten and I ended up destroying the buckle so I had to order a new one.

[Sir Brian]

Do you have a picture or link to the buckle?

Carpet threshold strip; they do have brass coated nails. Revival Clothing actually carries some.

Clipped nails are a proper medieval item for some things. They are basically a thin-head rivet at that point. Some of my armor has nails in it; leather articulation straps in particular.

anel it then, it may have been "to strong" put it to a torch.

I'm assuming you meant "anneal"... that looked too much like "anal".

How Sir Wolf softens his rivets is up to him.... but mental note to myself, don't ask him for rivets

I just need 4, not 100.

Maybe not at the moment but I am sure you will at some point.  I just came across this thread else I would've bought the 100 and mailed you 4.  At $20 that is a steal.
