There’s too much aviation related stuff on there NOT to have an account. 1000’s of photos on the museum pages etc 🙂

Can someone give me a fool’s guide to riveting aluminium, including what tools I will need? I know how to pop rivet, but that isn’t the right type for the aircraft parts I’m making. I’ve seen old film of the hammer gun and the block, but there must be a simple way for the garage-builder to do this. Also, how do I rivet in a tight spot to get to?

Thanks all

Scroll down to the student kits, the pro kits will likely give you a coronary.

Go with a 3x gun.

But they’re not all ‘worthless criminals’ are they; plenty of innocent victims and bystanders are shot by these criminals too.

That’s what I said…albeit slightly differently…

John Green, that sounds nothing like the aircraft riveting ive done for the past 42 yrs.

Not to mention the size of the clamps you’d need.. & the time to do it…

Who is the ‘you need guns to protect you from whom?’ guy?

That’s Randy Weaver, his wife & kid was murdered/assassinated by the Govt.

Good points…

He once explained to me that he kept a careful index of all the ‘loonies’ who wrote to him, noting the individual’s name, address, and oddball belief. He would then put this latest ‘looney’ into contact with a ‘looney’ of the opposite beliefs, working on the principle that, as he put it: “Loonies of opposite polarity cancel out”.

So who did he put you in contact with? :D:D:D:D
