Yes, I mentioned that in my earlier post here. SS bolts and cap nuts.Be sure to use stainless steel bolts so they don't rust.

I have the handles go of a pot, that fell on the floor with hot soup in it... but it fell straight down so I didnt get hurt.
Drilling, well the nuts and bolts has to be food safe, yes no nickel or other harmful material and same goes for welding, so ask professional or get a new one.
If you can find brass carriage bolts and cap nuts they'll at least blend in with the copper pot.
Here's a brass cap nut
I'd go with a forced fit as copper is a soft metal. May have to file the shoulders down a bit if they're taller than the thickness of the pot.All the carriage bolts I've ever seen have square "shoulders" designed to fit into a broached, square opening. Are you suggesting a forced fit or filing the hole to accept the carriage bolt?
I am currently using the old copper Revereware pots and pans. There was some adjustment before I figured out where they could be safely kept and a couple of them fell on the floor before I had that figured out. Now because of that, or because of age, the brass handle of the 2 qt pot has fallen off.
I can't tell if the handle was riveted on or not. Although it looks to have been welded, I can see what looks like 3 screws in both the handle and the pan (there are no rivets in the inside of the pot itself - the entire inside is smooth all the way around).
My question is, is it worth it to try to reweld the handle back on and if it is, does anyone know where I would go to have this done? And any guess at what it might cost?

RT, you are very lucky that handle didn't fall off full of hot food.
How can you trust it won't happen that way with the rest of the set?
I think you're better off getting rid of them now, rather than later and cut your losses before you wish you had done just that.
Kayelle, there are millions of pieces of this cookware around. I have a few myself. I collect copper and use copper daily for cooking. I also frequent a few copper boards. I have heard of only one other handle failing, and this was on the stainless version of the same style. Revere signature cookware is as safe as any other cookware when it comes to handle failure.
That just can't be true. You must mean it's as safe as any cookware that has glued on handles.
It can't be any worse than the disks falling off the bottoms of some pans. Anyway, this handle gave me a little warning. I noticed the handle was slightly loose a couple days before it came off, but I didn't think anything about it at the time. I'm not that worried. All I do with my pans is cook in them, wash them, and polish them. These are about the only times I'm holding them by the handle. I very seldom pick the pots up with food in them, now that I think about it. And now I know to be a little more careful if I do.
