Go to Post We didn't need a championship to recognize the kids on our [little league] team and we sure didn't need one to inspire them. If you want to go to the championships then work harder, don't try and lessen the value of the championships by letting everyone in. - FarmerJohn [more]

We have found the best way to have solidly attached rivets are to make sure your holes are drilled properly and to the correct diameter. If you're using 5/32 rivets, purchase a few #20 drill bits. If you're using 3/16 rivets, purchase a few #10 drill bits. I always refer to table 1 on this website and it has never steered us wrong: http://www.engineersedge.com/rivet_application.htm
