[QUOTE="thill, post: 494668, member: 4972"] Take a sharp wood chisel and lay flat against the surface and tap with a hammer. It should slice or pop the head right off the rivet without damaging the surrounding area. Then take a punch or even a nail and tap the rivet out of the hole. Most rivets are going to be 3/16" or 1/4". Most I have come across have been 3/16". Maybe so! It works great, though. I've had ones that are all or nothing, and they are harder to control, and want to jump around. [/QUOTE]
