    A trick I developed for riveting pinstem hinges and omega pivot
    pins- I took a pair of needle nose parallel jaw pliers and ball
    burred semi- circular holes in the tips about a millimeter in
    diameter. I trim the pin so it protrudes maybe a millimeter on each
    side, then use the the pliers to form the ends of the pins into
    mushrooms flush with the surface of the hinge. Very quick, tidy, and
    no heat needed.
