Rivet sets & snaps

No go with any tool suppliers so got this chisel set off ebay…

~§~

Annealed.

~§~

Figuring out what I want and what can get away with. A set of Starrett radius gauges helped me figure out the radii for the tool grinding.

~§~

Machined, stamped, hardened & tempered (to suit: 3/32″, 1/8″ & 5/32″ diameter shank rivets)

~§~

Tried the “heat and hammer a ball bearing in” method, it just made a mess.

~§~

Anvil end. 2 snaps (one used as a hold-up) & a set for each size.
