Just tried drilling out the rivets. Didn’t work well for me at all. Somewhere in the drilling process the riven “broke free” and started spinning in the handle, creating a lot of heat–smelled of burning wood. Was ultimately able to get one out, but not without some breakout on the other side. After a lot of struggling, I sufficiently caused enough wood damage I’m trashing the saw and starting over–this time I’ll leave the handle attached and just shape as desired that way.
