rivots
what is the name of the rivots that are flush/domed on each side..... i think they used them in aircraft applications..... i have a project and need a rivot look on both sides......(i.e. aluminum to leather)

i just searched through mcmaster and found them...
next question is the tool needed
what i plan on doing is bonding 1/16 or 1/8 aluminum with leather..... space would be limited since i'm making a bag line for my clothing line... so picture a thin box that is about 2-3" wide and 12" tall..... the thin sides are aluminum and the front/back will be leather..... so i would need to figure out how to rivot the lower rivots once it is assembled.... unless i can figure out another way of doing that detail...i want to stay with rivots for the look of my :2:37am: line......
i want to prototype all my work myself so the detailing is important....

duh...
i can just rivot on the outside instead of trying to use the tool on the inside...that is if the rivot looks the same from both ends after install... i would need the better side on the outside...
is there any other tools that would help in this process.... for instance i seen a tool the you need to use a hammer to flatten the rivot... and the air ones seem the have to wrap on both side of the rivot.... any ideas
