This is the first page of my three-page article about
turning a drill press into an inexpensive rivet-making
machine.  This appeared in the January 2007 issue of
Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.

The only semi-interesting info about this article is the fact
that I had to shoot all the photographs for it twice.  The
original article was submitted to RMC in November of 2004.
RMC admittedly held on to it a long time, and finally decided
to put it in the January issue.  As editor Jim Ankrom was
getting ready to do the layout for the article, he discovered
he couldn't read the CD I'd sent with the photos on it.  So
he called me and asked if I could just send another CD.  "No
problem," I thought, since I always make a backup CD of
any material I send to magazines.  "Always"... except this time,
that is.  I tore my home office apart looking for the backup
CD, or even the original photos I'd taken for the article.
Couldn't find even one.  Nothing.  Luckily I had a print-out
of the photos I'd sent, so I spent the following weekend
re-shooting each of the shots.  If this would have been a
step-by-step construction article, I'd have been deadmeat,
or I'd have had to rebuild the project. As it was, this was simply
a series of close-up photos of the riveter in action.

Will I triple-check that I have a backup CD from now on?
Don't even need to answer that...
