My Railway workshop "Kitchen Sink Engineering" is very proud of its Flush Head Rivitting... In fact it is so well done that it is impossible to see it!!! regards ralph

Now that looks fun - would be interested to see the effect and does it work on thicker stock and near edges? I have used the  hole punch or styrene slices method for years and it works for most applications
