Ducci Brings it too

Really excellent work! What are the hollow rivets called and where can one get them? These photos are really inspiring.

You can't "buy" the hollow rivets, you have to buy stainless (brass, titanium, or nickel silver) tubing and cut it to length to fit your knife. Then you need to make your own swedging dies (flairing tool) because they aren't sold either.

I know OP wanted some pics. I'll post more for him in the lounge when I get some time; which I have been short on.

I had been getting ready for a big Christmas dinner here and after that a section of DeAnne's back fence blew down in a storm so I have been rebuilding that. Now I'm done but have anotehr party for eight here Tuesday night. Too bad Ducci wasn't near by I could give hime some pay back. This group of friends drinks Tequila :thumbup:

My lord, those DO look a LOT better. I mean, I knew 'Ducci had skillz ... just didn't know quite how good they really were.

That SAR5 is much, much .... MUCH better now. And the Barkie handles look very comfortable.

I am now bowing, several times, in 'Ducci's direction! Fabulous work, sir!

Hoping the fence is repaired and party preparations are not too onerous.

Now, I must return to my off-site chores.

Thanks. I figured it was common enough to come as a kit of some kind with precut tubing and the flaring tool.
