I have been working on a complex handrail panel with rivet details. The sections are forged then joined to each other with a steel rivet giving a secure traditional decorative join using the round head rivets as a feature. I have been lucky enough to have some workshop time filmed by SocialMeansUK Here's the short film of the tool I made and how I use it for tricky riveting jobs like this one! @socialmeansuk @melissacole001
