Rivet Heading Vise

Steve Hackbarth, proprietor of Badger Village Blacksmithing, sent in this handy little tool idea. It is cut from a piece of angle iron approximately 10 inches long. First find the center, saw cut through the web on one side only, then heat and bend back upon itself. Insert a thin piece of cardboard (about a buisness card in thickness) into the gap and drill the holes. The cardboard helps keep the drill centered. Thatís it!!
