First Practice Rivets! (0 hrs)

Today, John Raffensparger, the local EAA tech counselor brought me some rivets and scrap metal to practice with. I used the air hammer, and bucking bars I recently purchased from John to try my hand at a few rivets. I didn’t have a proper clamp or vice, so it wasn’t a very professional setup, but I was still able to place a few horrible rivets! Here’s a photo of the result. Still lots to learn and practice.

CANCELED – SportAir RV Builder’s Workshop (0 hrs)

I’m officially signed up for a RV Builder’s Workshop at Frederick Municipal Airport in October! The course is a full day Saturday and Sunday review of all the skills required to build an RV. I’ll post more after the course.

Sept 14, 2012: Unfortunately, this class has been canceled. Apparently, all the SportAir classes at Frederick have been canceled for the foreseeable future.
