Brass Rivets & Burrs #12
Your choice of length: 1/2" 5/8" 3/4" 1"
Description
These superior quality two part fasteners are made in the USA by an Amish manufacturer and are of the highest quality.  Having long used these fasteners over several decades, we decided to offer them to the general public as they are great to work with.
This style of rivet is a two part with rivet and burr.  The rivet is inserted through the materials that you wish to connect and then the burr is forced down onto the shaft of the rivet to form an interference fit.  The shaft of the rivet that extends past the burr is trimmed as needed and then peined with a hammer to mushroom it and lock it permanently in place.   Our rivets are shipped with the corresponding # of burrs included but you can also buy more here if you'd like.
These brass rivets and burrs are solid Cartridge Brass (
CDA 260 -
70% Copper & 30% Tin) and will not corrode.  They are superior heavy-duty fasteners useful for:
Saddlery
Medieval armor building such as the SCA/MSR/WMA
Leather craft
Bike seats
Tack and harness construction and repair
Vintage wood boat repair and joinery
Dimensions:
Rivets:

Quantities are based upon industry standards. We don't hand count each box, however we do guarantee that the overall weight delivered is as promised.
Please note, we sell rivets by both weight and count.  We think that the above counts represent a fair average but if you need a certain number for your project we encourage you to order a bit more to handle variability and possible challenges in successfully setting the rivet on your work.
