He does have some neat videos. Most of them are pretty basic, so haven't followed him in a while but good info.
 
Sometimes they have nails in them.
 
I remember when they used to use rivets to hold the pads to the backing.
 
Some still do... I did brakes on a K5 a while ago and the pads were riveted. Whenever I do shoes I get riveted. Had a bonded shoe seperate on me once and now I'm gun shy of using anything but riveted.
