Now you take a hammer and form the head down until it is 
ready for the final forming which is what you use the hollow depression 
for. Put it on the head area you are forming and give the tool a GOOD 
SOLID HIT and it should form the head into a nice even shape.
Peter,

It should also be noted that this works best when the rivet is of the proper 
length.  Too long or too short and it will end up being a royal mess.  Paul 
would be best to practice with some scrap metal of the same thickness as his 
muffler.  He may have to shorten the length of the rivet to make a nice job.
