These Copper Burrs pair well with our smooth shank, copper common nails. Commonly used in lapstrake boatbuilding, these burrs will fit over a copper nail and then the tip of the nail is blunted over to create a copper rivet.
The gauge number on the burr is meant to correspond to the size nail that it is meant to be used with. However, many customers prefer either a tighter or looser fit, so in-between sizing is available and can be chosen with the drop-down box above. The handy measurement guide below will help determine which size burr you require. You can cross-reference it with the similar guide on the copper nail page.
| Burr Size | Inner Diameter (ID) | Outer Diameter (OD) |
| #6 | 0.205" | 0.470" |
| #8 | 0.165" | 0.470" |
| #9 | 0.145" | 0.438" |
| #10 | 0.135" | 0.378" |
| #12 | 0.124" | 0.361" |
| #13 | 0.105" | 0.333" |
| #14 | 0.090" | 0.314" |
It would be helpful if burr/nail sizing were described in more detail. Although it is stated that burr # is intended to be compatible with copper nail #, and dimensions of I.D and respective O.D. of the nail are stated in detail, it is difficult to judge the performance of fit in practice. I feel that sample product pairs of nail/burr should be made available such that the first time user can make a judgement of fit, and order according to full quantities as required.

Great company and products!
Rudder cheeks now solid. Confidence in steering restored. Thank you!
I'm a retired boat builder/ship carpenter. I'm not doing production work but I still make and repair boats. This is a fantastic resource. I find and get what I'm looking for delivered right away. If I could give. 7 stars I would.
I have not used them yet. I ordered the wrong length on the nails, i need 3 1/2" not 3".
For my project I need to secure 3 pieces of wood together. Any suggestions?
Thanks
