Rivet and rivet nib

To make the rivet to join the scissors together, I hammered an aluminium pole to create the exact same rivet but double the size.

Original rivet next to my hand made rivet, apologies for the poor quality photo.

It worked alot better than I expected it to. I finished off the rivet with wet or dry paper.

The original nib for the end of the rivet, I made one from wood and then sprayed it black.
