This is an article on how to make a Riveting Jig. It’s from Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist March 2010. I cannot tell you how many times I have been trying to hold the piece of jewelry to rivet and trying to hold the punch and trying to hammer at the same time. Well this is the cure!

My husband made mine for me out of stainless steel because that is what we have available just lying around as scrap. If you are handy with wood the directions are straight forward!

    I just found your blog & love your work – esp like the clasp you made for the men’s bracelet (mar 2013). Wow! I know you must be busy, but if you can send me directions also for this riveting tool I’d appreciate it. Seems like a handy tool to have.

    Hi Joy,
    Hope you are enjoying your new tools! I got a set of riffler files for Christmas…how did I ever live without them! I am going to try out my chasing tools and pitch pot today.
    Thanks for posting the article, can you scan me a copy or post a link?
