Flint Spatula (Turner) Rivets
I had a spatula that separated due to broken rivets. I love these old style spatulas (turners). I wish I knew where to get new ones made of thin spring steel. I buy them whenever I see them at yard sales.
Some stainless rod turned down for a rivet.
Checking with the spatula blade for fit.
The handle has a larger hole than the blade.
Parting off. I made them a little long, next time I’ll leave them shorter.
Much peening later. It would have been less work if there was less rivet and the holes were the same size.
This is the brand. I think they were bought out by Ecko. You can buy them on Ebay for $15-$20, less if you’re patient.
Notice I made a few dings…well a dented spatula is better than no spatula.
