I'm back!!
It's been tough to get my schedule and my bucking buddy's schedule together to where we can rivet the skins. I have a good portion of the inboard skin riveted. I am using a combination of riveting techniques such the old mushroom head and bucking bar, the new offset backrivet set and bucking bar, and my 4 inch yoke on the hand squeezer. All this was done with the wing on the jig. Last night I decided to train my 11 year old son on how rivet and buck on one row of rivets and it turned out really nice! Hopefully things will now pick up a bit.
Update 5/6/2007: Check out the right wing skins page. I decided to not use the offset backrivet set and instead chose to use my rivet gun with the swivel mushroom head and the bucking bar from behind, which is the suggested method in the Orndorff videos. The right wing skins turned out much nicer the left wing. The swivel mushroom head is a lot more forgiving than the fixed mushroom head. It allows me be off a little without dinging the sheet metal.
