Hi all.

    In just the latest of my amazements at the wonder the Orchid
    community, the recent thread on rivets has been quite inspiring.
    I've long procrastinated about learning to rivet, but a recent digest
    had about 10 thoughtful and provacative responses on the subect.
    Quite a little tutorial when printed out, and I'm finally gonna do
    it! 

    I'm mainly interested in bracelets, and the need to bend whatever I
    make requires planning for how that torque will affect the design. If
    I wanted to rivet a 1-2 level plaque of some kind onto a base piece,
    would it survive the torque of bending? Or would I have to bend
    first, and then rivet (a more daunting process)? Thanks for any
    advice!
