Learning how to make a rivet deformer!

I have a couple of days on my hands, so I thought I'd try some new-to-me rigging techniques---all the things I've had on my to-do list for the last few months and never got around to!

Tonight's experiment is the rivet deformer thing-a-ma-bob. Later on, I want to try to rig a piece of rope in the near future, and even though it'll probably be with an IK-spline (that's what I'm thinking right now, although it's subject to change), it might be nice to have some controls that can deform in a more local capacity. So, I need to learn about these rivets.

They're kind of cool. They'll probably need a little finessing, to get the deformations working more smoothly, but for now, I'm alright with the result!
