| 229157 | Steve Jones <stjones@k...> | Apr-20-2012 | My first rivet! |
GGs; When the handle pulled off my Olsen coping saw, I first thought of epoxy. But all the talk of knife and screwdriver scales got me thinking about trying a rivet. Someone on the porch mentioned that a wire coat hanger could be used, so I found a fairly heavy one. After drilling a snug hole through the handle, I cut off a piece of the wire and ground the ends flat, leaving about 1/8" extra length. A couple of minutes with a ball pein hammer and the flat on the back of my machinist's vise. and I had a new uncle named Bob. Handle's tight too. Thanks for all the knowledge and advice.
