Another one to play with:


There are 2 main types of '''Rivet'''
* Solid metal rivet, fitted by hammering
* blind hollow rivet

There's also a type that I have used in the past that have a domed head and
a shank with a grooved twist (like externally rifled solid rivet) that are
simply hammered into an accurately sized hole through the two pieces of
metal. The end is not hammered over.
