HI Guys, thought I"d share a effective and cheap way to apply rivets.
Today I am applying rivets to a repaired wing, before I apply the primer.
The bit is home made from a broken dremel bit, you can made any size rivet by the angle of the bit.

Great technique, looks easier & safer than burning. I'll have to try it. Thanks for posting Pete!

Yeah, nice job, I remember reading years ago that you do the same job using piece of brass tubing, and sharpening the part you are going to use as the tip, and with this method you can use different size tubing to match the size of your model, HTH.

HI, I can not take credit for the rivets, I picked up the procedure from the best in the world, Graeme Mears.
