Started on Practice Kit

Friday, June 06 2008

image I got the shipment with the Vans Practice kit, and started in on the first small project.  I am not pleased with the riveting on the AN470 rounded head rivets.   The rivet set is marking the Aluminum.

  • The pneumatic squeezer is nice and does a good job
  • Flush Riveting is fairly easy once you get the feel for the bucking bar
  • Back riveting - only did one, but seems like an easy way to work.
