I note, in the riveting demo that the hot rivet catching bucket has a pinched bottom. My inference is that this is allows the rivet "catcher" to shake the "cook" thrown rivet until the rivet is in a shank-toward-work orientation, thusly facilitating the riveter with the tongs to grab the rivet in the correct orientation to insert the rivet into the target hole.

Yet another excellent issue! My fave this week is "Use for a Laser Pointer." So simple and such an excellent handy helper!
