Chappy ,another issue on AVEX is the head of the riveter should be a concave one so that the rivet will form a nice rounded head.
regualr " pop rivet guns" just havea flat suface and makes a sloppy looking head.
you can "machine" your own with a drill bit sharpened on less of a angle than normal . I do it in my lathe.

Shorty,

I'll try it!

BTW, what lathe do you have? I have a small 9" South Bend with quick change gears and Aloris tool post. I bought it and learned how to use it way back when I had decided to build the reduction drives I have on my Pioneers. If it wasn't for the Lazair, I probably never would have owned one or learned how to run one. I've never been much good at cutting treads on it though.

I'm still jealous of the big husky bending brake you built last winter! I had scrounged some big angle for one myself years ago, but it got diverted to another project. I got the steel out of a huge building that they aged Virginia Gentleman Whiskey in when they tore the building down. Wish I could find some more.
