Default Removing rivets,dies for rivets

It wont be available to everyone, but I used an arc/air gouger to remove the stainless welds from my hull. It would work well for removing rivets too.
As far as tooling goes, I have made up a die for a pneumatic rivet gun. I turned it up on a lathe, out of 4140 (or maybe 4340) the advantage of which, it work hardens with use.
