I need to attach two 1/8 inch thick pieces of steel together with a steel dome head rivet, the kind used on mower sickle sections. The parts need to rotate after being riveted. I would like a nice rounded head when finished. What kind of tool do I need? One of those H-shaped things I see at Farm stores?

Thanks!

Seems to me that riveting two pieces togther without special equipment would lock them together. I would get a small piece of students lined writing paper, make a hole with a paper punch, and place it between the two pieces with the rivet thru the hole. Hammer the rivet reasonably tight, then use a small torch to heat the paper and burn it out. this should give about .003 clearance between the pieces. Try it on some scrap first for practice.

Hi Phil,

Been awhile since I buck'd rivets but you will two rivet sets. One for the rivet head and one to turn the shank head. Haven't seen rivets used in years and a aircraft supplier would carry what you want. Box trailer mfg suppliers would also be a good place as they use them on there frame rail skin attachment sometimes. Depending on the rivet size Tandy Leather will carry the ones for harness rivets.

If your not in spending mood you could probably make the tools as they were expensive, about $18 eh 35yrs ago and there easy to make.
