No one has mentioned you would have to be really fast riveting after heating as well. Rivet may be hot to the touch like 200 degrees F but would have to be more like 4 or 500 to make a difference. Small metal objects of that size cool down very fast due to no mass to retain the heat. Anyone using a press can squeeze the hell out of them anyway.
