[SEL] Rivets

[Joe Prindle]

I have been looking for tools for setting large solid rivets, stuff in the
1/4" to 1/2" range, and have not found a source. I have some work I would
like to do that will require rivets and would be interested in knowing of
a supplier of tools. Worst case scenario is that I would have to make
them, but I know nothing of it and hate to reinvent the wheel. Like so
many things, I think the process is empirical.
