Europa-List: Rivet Question

Hello to All,

My friend that allows me to use his rivet squeezer has gone on vacation for 
three weeks just when I needed him, or it. He's an RV builder and knows his 
rivets. He inspects my workmanship after I'm done and gives me some good 
information, since I have never had to squeeze rivets before this.
Anyone know of any acceptable caveman ways of squeezing these without a real 
tool? Is a vise OK to use? Ball peen hammer on an anvil? But that removes any 
evidence of the "dot" on the head and flattens it. 
My only options would be to wait for his return or pay over $125 for a tool 
that I'll rarely use. Both of these ways bother me.
