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.
