Well Andy I’m going to have a go at building your rivet machine it just looks great and easy to use, I will let you know how it goes keep well regards John
Great video - subscribed. I made a similar one for my 5" build some years ago. I've found that I needed a deeper throat once I started to get away from the edges of deeper parts like the tender tank. In its current form I have about a six reach.
Some special looking welds on that press.
Not a welder in anybody's dreams!

G’day Mark that rivet press is terrific, I use a aircraft air rivet gun with a thumper steel behind it very fast. Good to see you mate regards John
In a video still to come, you'll see the press in use.

Cool, thanks!
Great idea. But the video could really use a demo.
Coming soon in a different video ...
G’day Andy what is the size of the steel plate? Thanks. Regards John
Hi John,
About 12" x 9" and 3/4" thick. It was a scrapyard find.
