What type of tools do you use to install rivots. I know about the jig, but what are other methods for doing it the rivot way.

-5 for spelling.
Made my rivet bucks from 1/4" and 1/2" mild steel. Worked fine, and the AMD is up and ready to run.

Plinker's Rivet Jig.. the only way to do it... Although I have heard that Pookie's jig is easy too...

Listen to Longboat

There are other methods, such as a modified bolt cutter and the use of a modified air hammer, but pre-fab jigs are the way to go
