Steamengine tubes and rivets

Why do people always won’t rivets when it’s hot
In the winter never make that many

11/2” tubes swaged up both ends to 15/8” then normalised
Change from up one down one end

We don’t only do tubes and rivets a couple of valve base flanges sent out ready to fit

Looks like a busy week ahead pallets awaiting collection
