Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Terry and I'm here today to show you the workings of a Forge. Alright, we've let our forge warm up to about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You know you're getting there when you get a full blow out of all of your material. Alright, I want to demonstrate making a Rivet Head, it's not going to be an actual Rivet but I'm going to make, out of a flat piece of metal, I'm going to make a Rivet Head in a Forge that I can weld on to a piece of structure later to make it look like an actual Rivet. Get my hammers here. I have a forming block and I just pound them out. There we go, now that should form a nice dump shape. Still a little hot. So then when I weld it onto something it looks just like a Rivet button."
