Thank you, great video. When you have a cupped circle item on top like you did, how can you turn it over to hammer the brad/rivet without it bending the cupped circle item on top?
Hi Catina, another fabulously informative video for a newbie tin jewellery maker in the UK, thank you so much. Can I please ask what pattern/brand the embossing folder is that you used on the rectangular pieces? It's like a metal deckplate design. I have a large-scale version but would love to get hold of your smaller version for smaller pieces. Thanks again
The one that I had on the bench block? That is a basket weave design. It’s by Cuttlebug and I think the name is Oxford. It is a go-to folder that will work with just about any design.
Hi! I am so grateful to find this tutorial! It is so helpful, as I have no experience with cold connections! I find it confusing to know how to choose which one to use - could you quickly write the differences in rivets, eyelets and brads? Benefits to one over the other? Thank you!!!
Hi! A rivet has a flat or decorative head and you trim the stick part down to hammer it flush in place. Compression rivets have two parts that snap together before using a tool that sets it in place. Eyelets have a hole that is set in place with an eyelet setter. These are useful when needing to link something to the piece. Brads are a type of basic small nail that can be adapted to use as a rivet. I use compression rivets when joining non flat pieces of tin together. I use eyelets when a more ‘finished’ look is needed for the design- such as a necklace pendant. I use brads as rivets coz they are cheaper than jewelry rivets, haha.
@@atomicanucleibycatina7861 Oh my gosh, thank you so so much for that information! It helps to make things so much clearer and I really do appreciate your time. ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyed your video. I thought brads were those things scrapbookers use that look like split pins. You poke them through the hole and divide the pin "legs" on the back ?
Yep, those are what I always thought of as brads too. However, these small nails are called brad nails. A quick search on Lowe’s for brads will show you the nails I’m talking about. Thanks for watching!
@@atomicanucleibycatina7861I'm in Australia, but I looked them up in a big hardware chain we have here and they had lots of brad nail types. Thank you for the info.
Your demo of setting the 2 part compression rivet misses the use of attaching the metal to another piece of metal. Unless setting that rivet just for aesthetics there’s no point to putting that in a single sheet of metal.
Very good instruction and thanks for the tip on using brads!
Welcome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the idea for using the wire brads from the hardware store. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Welcome! I wish I could remember where I learned that. Brads do work really well.
Oh I’m so glad I found you ! Looking to making my own bezels and bell/ bead caps from tin
Well, I hope I can help. I think I’ll end up learning more too!

The tile designed fabric is beautiful but makes for confusing visuals of the things you are showing.🙏

Thank you for showing all the different cold connections. FYI if you file in one direction, pushing, your file will live longer. Peace.
Thanks! I’ll try to remember to file in one direction.
