You can also make a rivet (of sorts):
You can also make true rivets in a somewhat similar fashion. Jim's suggestion of using paper to maintain clearances is a good one, too. Wayne

But then, I should talk.....I don't know too many people who would work an eye splice in fine sewing thread, or, better yet, fly tying thread!.......which I'm about to do a lot of, rigging three sailing vessels for the new modules.

This is all covered under the heading "Givens & Druthers": it's a given that most model railroaders are nuts to some degree, and that we'd druther not worry about it.
