Back to Part Three

For double-dimpling I use a sawed-off rivet set (annealed) drilled and countersunk for the proper clearance, and then mount it in a convenient heavy ``handle." The rivet is placed in the hole, backed with the dimpler, and shot gently with a flush set. Too frisky with the gun and you have a proud, not-so-flush rivet with a smiley at the edge.

All done! (I did need to do a little bumping from the back to get some lows up, and then thump the face with the spoon to lessen those proud spots.)
