I’m not fortunate enough to have a scale model traction engine or a fly press like yours but if 1 had both perhaps a strip of e.g. 50x4 flat bar could be “dimpled ? “ every day 2” along it’s length then wrapped round a welded boiler over the weld seam to make it look riveted ? Sometimes these things don’t even need a use to justify them , there just ace 😁
thank you.. this will go along long way towards my metal art... cheers and wonderful blessings to you !
Could use that for faux rivets .... sort of boilerplate look.
