arftist Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ever have trouble backing a rivet? Me too. Here is one solution. I used a die grinder to form clearance for the rivet head and to carve notches for the vise grips to have purchase in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Greetings Artfist, Slick set up... I always used the bent post ground post rivet set... Yours sure beats holding the work vertical.. Great thinking Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nice improv, Arftist. I'll be pleased as punch to adopt and adapt such a set. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothBore Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 For what it's worth ..... I'd be inclined to use a small "Cone" Mandrel, ( or a good solid "Hardy" of any sort ) in the Hardy Hole, in a case like that ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
