Hello everyone,

I am looking for advise regarding rivets in doors. My plan is to rivet the rails, stiles, radius section, and panels. Are these usually cold rivets? -- I am building a white oak entry door for my neighbor's cottage-style home. She wants it to be Tolkienesque, and I am forging a peep-box, hinge straps, and accent plates.-- Making those parts is pretty straight forward, but setting the rivets without scorching the timber (if hot) is a question that is making me wonder whether I am overlooking something simple.

I really appreciate any advise and/or anecdotes regarding this process.

Cheers
