Most of you guys seem to be welding champs which is very cool. But one question I've been wondering is: besides the fact that it was not original approach and doesn't look as nice...what are the disadvantages to riveting?
Aren't rivets actually stronger than welds if done right? Which is the reason why airplanes and bridges are riveted? more of a philosophical question than anything else. Couldn't find this topic in the archives. thoughts? |
