BP1033 Forging a Rivet with a Fly Press
by Uri Hofi
My press is an 100 years old 20 ton flypress that i got as a present from an old retired metal fabricator. 
Use the same tool and adjust the daylight. The height of the head with the upper locking nut.
Heat with the rosebud. Insert in the tool. Put the tool with the steel under the raised press ram. Hit 3 times and get the finished head. 
Punch out on the anvil as before.
