Thanks for the off list reply another amazing invention!
I tried the ch601.org rivet / dimpler design and am having trouble lining up the cup head with the striking bar. My inept attempt have so far cost me £70 - your $15 design looks good. I will try it tomorrow

I would have attached the .pdf file with the full description of the device - but it is too big for the list. Could you post it on your web site so that everyone can have sight of it

Hello David,
I've been using a drill bit to deburr. I was hoping someone might suggest a more elegant method. Maybe there isn't one.
Like you, I had no experience with solid rivets. I had built this up in my mind as a terribly difficult task. I constructed this little rivet setting device. It works amazingly well. All but one of my rivets turned out close to perfect. I was able to do the entire center spar in less than 45 minutes.
The secret is to just align the punch by hand. The device just acts like a third hand to support the punch. It really could not have been easier. I was very pleased with the results.
Thanks for your input on the deburring. Hope I've helped with your solid rivet issue.
