I definitely do a lot more sewing as the wasteland tribe I belong to has a very different aesthetic. I've also been sewing pretty much my whole life so it's something I'm comfortable with. I've made hip pouches from patterns and I do a great deal of leatherworking and that requires leather needles.
if you have the skillZ, and enjoy the process, it surely helps! i have a simple machien now btw, did a few things with it, but not enjoying it as much as bolting. fun during the process is key. what gives that to you, that will be your go to thing.
If you want more material resistance, for it to grip the fabric better, file or sand the washer a little on the side that faces the fabric, that helps with grip too 🙌
I get that this is an older video, but if you do still respond to comments on it, Do you think clamps could help with keeping the layers taught to each other?
Dimitri sag mal wo beziehst du deine Schrauben her? Ich habe bei uns alle baumärktw durch. Die einzigen m3 Linsenkopfschrauben die zu finden waren sind, wurden in der hölle gehärtet und haben zu allem überfluss noch nen öseöigen kreuzkopf. Im internet werd ich auch nicht schlauer.
Locktite is best used directly on the threads before the nut. You can also use a center punch and hammer instead. Just a few good taps to center of the bolt will deform the bolt locking the nut in place
In my experience, the main differences between using bolts and rivets are utility, reusability and clearance. Rivets are decent for quick and dirty repairs or when you need the repair to be thin, but they're annoying if you want to swap around or replace a part on something and aren't reusable in some cases. Bolts are decent for making modular stuff and are reusable in most cases, but they tend stick out far enough to snag on something.
@@NuclearSnailStudios yes, I did. And it's a good video. I simply meant that compared to rivets, bolts stick out far enough to snag on things, even if they're trimmed.
@@WanderingTetsubo Idk if this would work for what you're doing, but since I have knee-length hair that snags on almost everything, I take a nice fat piece of leather or fabric and glue it over the snaggy part.
@@zxyatiywariii8 eh, I kinda do that all ready. Although I typically use rivets and extra fabric to reinforce the legs of my work pants, so they don't get worn out as fast.
@@WanderingTetsubo i dont know what you mean honestly. at this size & trimmed to be flush with the nut & sanded it doesn´t snag significantly for me - not more so than all the buckles and decorations and belts and bits of the costume anyway. not more than a rivet. nuts can technically snag more cuz a rivet is usually more round, i guess - but the difference is not one i ever noticed, on small nuts anyway. as for the boltheads, they are rounded so no problem there. obviously if you have a large M10 hex-head bolt and corresponding nut (and also not round them off) you WILL snag on that more than on a nice rounded rivet, yes :D probably as much as on buckles or other stuff
What about locknuts? They would hold tight, yet be removable..nylon locknuts have a higher profile, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as they're facing outward.. Great video!
I mean you are wrong about sewing. But like the rest I mostly agree with. I use a cut off disk with cutting off bolts but I don’t use bolts on fabric and have a very different style to you but yeah in general sure bolts are good sewing is always better though even for metal.
not sure i get your meaning - i dindt talk about sewing almost at all - so what specifically are you saying am i wrong about there? also: "sewing is always better though even for METAL" ? wtf? :D
@@NuclearSnailStudios Sewing is better even for metal yes or for a lot of the applications you are using it for in outfits sewing would be better. I'm not saying you are wrong just that you have a totally different way of going about things and no doubt have a different use case for post apoc outfits then I do and want them to perform different. But in general it does seem to me you are very down on sewing as a tool and it's wild to me then you have not tried it out for joining metal armour stuffs given that is how a lot of armour in history that is metal has contacted to the things under it (e.g. it is attached at arming points or in the case of things like metal lamellar armours the plates are sewn to each other). But no joke you should really stop hating on sewing and see if you can push yourself by only sewing.

I can sew, but it's very, very slow (no machine, so it's all by hand) so lately I've been using more bolts. . . I do love how much faster that is!
@@zxyatiywariii8 it's all about what works for you. If it works, do it 😁

the only time I have used bolts is for a scabbard for my wooden short-sword that I wanted to make a mix of eras with as a theme
The armor you had on in the beggining looks great! hope we get a vid on it, or on a simmilar looking piece
thanks! and you will!

So happy to be early! You’re such an inspiration!
Thanks for brightening my day dima :)

That jacket is sick
thx, it will ahve its own video :)
I’ll be waiting dude
P.S. - don´t use bolts with big and/or non-rounded heads, cuz that will rub you the wrong way, literally.

Bolts rule!
I never thought to use them until I found your channel way back when, and now I absolutely love them.
What size are your bolts and washers?
Love how on the Knippex is written "do not cut steel" xD
i won't do what you tell me!!

uuh.. did you watch the video? cuz about half of the video is literally about trimming the bolts sothey DONT snag as easily :D

I've learned loctite bevor nut. So the glue is inside the nut
probably would hold even better, yes. i think it seeps thru the thread when added to top though - but im not sure
What about locknuts? They would hold tight, yet be removable..nylon locknuts have a higher profile, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as they're facing outward..
