Spanish term or phrase: un perno por dos a más planos
More from the silversmith glossary.

Remachar. Técnica de unión consistente en hacer pasar un perno por dos a más planos y aplastar las cabezas de ambos extremos.

my trans:
Riveting. Technique for bonding that involves passing a bolt through two flatter ones and flattening the heads at both ends.

You don't pass a bolt through another bolt. Am I using the wrong word for perno? TIA (again!).

English translation:a PIN through two or more surfaces
Explanation:
Neither shaft nor bolt sound correct to me, especially if we are talking about jewellery or relatively small pieces of work (not architecture or giant engineering pieces). Also, the end of a pin can be flattened but the end of a bolt?? A nut would be placed on the end of a bolt.
Hope this helps.

a bolt through one or more flat surfaces/planes


Explanation:
"Plano" se refiere a una superficie plana. Se me ocurre "flat surface" o "plane". No es mi especialidad, pero creo que esa es la idea.
Suerte :)

Sí, el "dos a más" pareciera ser un error tipográfico. Debería ser "dos o más". En caso de que fueran "dos más planos", también sería un error... y no tiene mucho sentido... :)

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Yes, pin is the right word. Have flu. Brain feels like cottage cheese. My area is car repair! Bottle of brandy in hot milk more like it, shame I can´t stand either, but at least I wouldn´t feel anything!

a shaft through two or more surfaces


Explanation:
Riveting normally uses a thin cylinder of metal.
This page will show you clear diagrams http://www.notesandsketches.co.uk/Assembling.htm
As for a/o in the original - I don´t think it makes a great deal of difference! Two or more, or possibly two plus surfaces. But since riveting is frequently done with just two surfaces, I´ll stick with two or more.

See Owen´s comment below. Pin is the correct word in this context, and the most useful normally too.

Asker: Hope you are feeling better today! (I wouldn't like a bottle of brandy in hot milk or even cold milk. Try opening the bottle (without putting it in the milk), then pour some INTO the milk...I guarantee you'll like it much better. ;-)
