   I was hoping somebody here had experience with hinge rivets (not riveted   
   hinges) so I could determine   
   if it was something I wanted to mess with.  I'll probably only ever make   
   one tool box like this.  An extra half hour or so probably doesn't   
   matter for just one, but the knowledge, tools, and skills may be useful   
   for other things.

   Sorry, I don't, they weren't an electronic hardware item. There are several   
   electronic parts with tubular rivet bases but they don't handle much stress.   
   Usually whatever I design and make can be disassembled after trial fitting,   
   to paint, repair or modify.   
      
   These and competitors' cheaper copies are very useful on sheet metal,   
   especially for blind assembly threaded holes in aluminum. .

   To avoid machining you might consider Chicago screws with space-filling   
   washers.

   In industry I've headed rivets on a drill press equipped with a Grant   
   Twin-Spin tool.
