Rove Punch

Our rove punch is made of heavy steel and is an essential tool for neat copper nail and rove work. 5 in length. Traditional copper cut nails used with matching copper roves to form a copper rivet. These nails are extremely robust, easy to drive and when the wood fibers become damp and swell, will never work loose.

Copper roves are slightly conical washers. A copper nail is hammered through the joint, a rove is pushed over the end (concave side inward) and the nail is gently peened over forming a copper rivet assembly.
