What is a rivet?

Rivet is a headed pin or bolt of metal used for uniting two or more pieces by passing the shank through a hole in each piece and then beating or pressing down the plain end so as to make a second head. It is a permanent type of joint.

What is lap joint?

When two plates are folded under or above each other, this type of joint is called a lap joint. Riveted Lap joints are made by placing two plates above or below each other, creating a hole in these two plates & fixing the rivet inside the holes of the two plates, and hitting the rivet's tail with a hammer.
