A rustic setting always suggests fantasy; to suggest science fiction, you need sheet metal and plastic. You need rivets. Orson Scott Card
When human statecraft attaches a chain to the feet of a free man, whom it makes a slave in contempt of nature and citizenship, eternal justice rivets the other end about the tyrant's neck. Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
With clink of hammers closing rivets up. Colley Cibber

If you take one rivet out of an airplane, it will be all right, it'll keep flying. You take another rivet out of the airplane and it still flies. So what the heck, let's take more rivets out of the airplane, and sooner or later, the airplane drops from the sky. Ted Danson
I don't know if I could rebuild an airplane engine, but I know a little bit about rotors and rivets. Dane Cook
