Making a pair of Rivet Headers

In this video I’m going to make a pair of rivet header. I have used these for the book press restoration, well just one of them to be correct. But I decided to make two, so I could also use them to make a rivet connection with round heads on both side. On the book press I have used them to let the half round rivet head sit securly in the dimple of the rivet header, so I could peen the other end of the rivet. I used 34CrNiMo6 for this tool. I hardened it and tempered it to give the tool more durability. If you haven’t seen the book press restoration yet, here’s the link: I hope you like my work and the video.
