- These are my tips on shooting perfect solid shank rivets. I always like to make things easy on my self. So 1st select the right rivet gun, 2nd adjust you air compressor pressure, 3rd put tape over the rivet set, 4th push the rivet back through the hole to make sure bucking bar is straight, and 5 make sure you are shooting the right size rivet.
Feel free to comment any of your tip’s below and as always
Be easy.

There's a ton of pilot resources on YT but not so much A&P focused content. Thanks for doing what you do. Love the content. Have forwarded it onto management, who makes training videos for our apprentices at the shop I work. Top notch quality.
Years ago I used my dad's Pop Rivet Tool. Somehow this looks more professional! Riveting!
Pop rivets have their place in aviation. It's just not in structure that being said, a cherrymax is a structural "blind" rivit they just cost more than bullets.
The "bucking bar push back" tip (to level the bar to the work) is one this experienced builder did not know. THanks!
A retired structure mechanic from D Howard taught me that one.
Dude I have so much to learn I almost didn’t understand a word you were saying it was like a Martian speaking Martian explaining how his ufo travels thru space 😂
I'm sorry, once you take a sheet metal class it will make much more sense. Aircraft is its own language at times.
@@brycebuildsit oh yeah I haven’t even finished gen 101 yet
No idea why this is recommended to me but great vid
Airframe O&P tomorrow, this is helpful. Thanks!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes
great video. definitely going to use the countersunk head as a gauge next time i rivet. thanks for the tip
I just found your channel. You have great info to share, thank you so much! I will be testing in about 5 months.
Thank you for the advice great tips.
Great video. How do you correct a rivet that wasn’t shot properly? The overshot or crooked ones?
Unfortunately you have to drill it back out and try again, I'll probably make that a second video because I have at least 6 tips on drilling them back out.
I always wondered how you rivet something. Now I know. Correcting mistakes and actually riveting two pieces of aluminum together would make a very interesting part 2. 10:46
I've noticed kitbuilders seem to get whatever air tools they have at harbor freight. When I worked on cars everyone had favorite impact gun or air hammer, I had an amazing Cornwell 250mm gun. Is there any brand of rivet gun that is "better" than another?
In my opinion, yes. I know the name is wired, but The Yard Store sells really high-quality aircraft sheet metal tools. Also, aircraft tools supply sells a pretty good catalog, some cheap options, and some more expensive. I also like Seaux Air Tools. I will add right here on the end, though. I don't think there is anything wrong with buying from Harbor Freight. Especially if it's something you will only use a few times. If it's something you are using every day like I do, then I always recommend quality.
So it takes 2 people to install those rivets
Sometimes, I've done plenty by myself when I can get to booth sides.
