I like your style.

Riveting!

Now I want to see the one about how rivets work on large metal structures, like bridges.

Different technology, same basic idea.

That kind of rivet is a rod with a domed, flat end like a bolt or screw. It sorta looks like (== , you push it through a hole in the two or more pieces and use an impact hammer to squash the end of the rivet into the pieces you're attaching. (==)

For cleaning the dishes after you eat, duh!

Good to know.

Now tell me what washers are for.

DarkenRahl says...

They spread the load out more evenly and provide friction in a larger area than just the bolt / screw. They can also provide expansion to prevent the eventual loosening due to movement (lock washers).

Good to know.

Now tell me what washers are for.
