Re: Ribbit Rivet...

Andy,

You are grossly underestimating the rivet. We use them for almost every mechanical joint. The only structural place we don't use them is on the end of our wheel shafts to retain the wheel as the shaft is not very conducive to taking rivets. We use bolts to temporarily hold things together until we rivet them.
