**Vitruvian XVII**

Thanks vik!

Will update now.

**Viktor von Domm**

changed my banner by the way too... you did a great job...!!!

**dsteingass**

This is awesome, my favorite Dakka Article ever!

This is the most amazing group of people I have ever been a part of in my life. So much talent, so much bs, but everyone is always producing stuff, so the bs is therefore essential to the formula!

**Vitruvian XVII**

Hahaha, very true.

Btw, im usually pretty slow on the uptake, so if anyone has been added to the League, it would be awesome if you could let me know, so i can put them in the article

**dsteingass**

We shall use this area as the OFFICIAL MEETING MINUTES of the

..Unless of course it is one of our secret, clandestine meetings, then we should probably put those minutes in a shredder, or better yet..don't record it

**shasolenzabi**

Put the kettle on!

**Vitruvian XVII**

Get the cookies?

Yeah. That worked for Oliver North and Richard Nixon, should be no problem for us!

**dsteingass**

Nixon shot himself in the foot by recording everything

I never saw how the Ollie North stuff was any different than supplying Vietnam or Afghanistan with weapons, I think he was just the public fall guy.

**Fango**

Ok, what are the requirements for membership?

**Vitruvian XVII**

Quite simply, make something, and stick a metric feth-ton of rivets on it....

**Fango**

Is it then submitted for consideration? Or do you have menials and servitors scouring the P&M Blogs looking for projects with a higher-than-average rivet count?

**Vitruvian XVII**

Usually it comes to the attention of a few of the League, namely Viktor von Domm or dsteingass. Make the rivets and they will come...

**dsteingass**

You can post it here, or on any of our blogs, or your own thread, anywhere (just link us)- Membership only needs a motion and a second made by any League member in good standing, Vik (and only Vik) always has the Veto decision in every case (the perks of being the Patriarch, Cult Leader, and all-around good guy that he is).

**Viktor von Domm**

i beg to differ.... i am by far a good guy... i am for the record a pretty mean man

but the rest is basically as vitruvian and dave stated ... to a certain extent

also... if you have something new to contribute to the entertaining and educating world of riveting this might help bring our collective interest in a hurry to your work

**shasolenzabi**

Using a pin vise, I managed to accomplish the aircraft like technique of flush-reverse rivets. I have used the drill-pin to set holes for the small round stock plastic rivets, and I use the PVC glue techinque for the classic "round top" rivet look.

**Viktor von Domm**

the flush rivets are truly stunning looking.... i can only recommend to visit shaso´s thread to have a look... highly educational!

**dsteingass**

I nominate Wazoo for League membership
