Thank you for posting this video I'm recently have started my class for airplane mechanic and I'm basically the purest form of greenhorn you can picture for this type of job so this is helping me a lot including technical terms and everything so thank you very much

That just brings back memories of all the things I did wrong when I first started

Took my airframe today your videos have been very helpful thank you!

best video i have seen . shows me what i need to know about solid rivets and takes confusion out of my mind thanks

Thank you for teaching me about how rivets work. I like how the boy giggles when Dad says, "Let's go ahead and really screw up a rivet."

Been there, done that & screwed that up too as far as riveting sizes and buck tails, never used wrong tip. Got the Carpal tunnel.

I remember my first time doing hard rivets. I messed a bunch up but figured it out, and now they are easy.

29 years in the business. Licensed AME-S and I still love what I do. My advice to up and coming structures, young fellers and ladies, is to move around as much as you can in the industry for the experience. Light aviation (.016" - .050") 2024-T3 aluminum sheet takes way more riveting finess and time to master. Heavy rivet work (.040" - .80"+) aluminum sheet, like with Boeing aircraft, is much more forgiving. You'll become well-rounded and work with confidence. A tip! When riveting monel rivets and thin stainless sheet material, shorten it up on your rivet length and use rivet rubber on the shop tail side to flatten the stainless sheet on that side The suggested 1.5 undriven tail length is too much rivet, and monel rivets love to dump. The stainless sheet material stretches and looks terrible after you dump a rivet. Always use a shorter rivet. You'll see what I mean😉

Excellent vid

your son is a natural

I was an aircraft sheet metal mechanic.. Do u know some agency that can help me find a job. I am currently working in Singapore Airlines Engineering

I'm trying to use solid steel rivets to repair a bus, but my rivets' tail ends keep folding and don't want to flatten very much. In all the videos I've watched, no one uses solid steel rivets for their demonstration. Is there a reason for this? Is steel too strong a metal for this method to work properly?

Hi. You can rivet steel, but it is done differently. It takes a lot longer. You use a ball peen hammer, and repeatedly tap the shank. It eventually forms a very rounded (domed) head. I haven't ever tried with a rivet gun. Do you have mild steel rivets?

Use a good size tungsten bucking bar, its alott more dence and you can work the bucktail wille you shoot, use a 4x, anything smaller will just piss off a monell rivet.

Nice vid great help

Thanks interesting video !!!

I don’t understand that when pressure is too low the gun is jumping onto the rivet head . For me that happens when pressure is too high .

This is how much force you apply to the gun - not the amount of air pressure. If you are jumping off, press more firmly.

Now give him some E rivets.

This demonstrator has started with the assumption that he is talking to idiots. He is not alone, the You Tube is full of men who love to hear themselves talk. I cannot wait for this bloke's next video telling the world more improper things they should not do with a rivetting gun.
