The Eddie Squeezer!

Post by captain_john »

Whoa! I had a friend over last night and while drinking rum he came up with this new squeezer design:

I needed a larger yoke for my squeezer in order to do those squirrelly aileron pushrods. I have heard HORROR stories regarding their difficulty in getting the rivets set properly.

This tool, named after the designer of course... fits into the vise and you swap the other jaw around so you get an opposing smooth surface.

Once it ia all aligned... waaaaaaahhhh... squeeze away!

Image

Should I add all the rum time in as building time?

Thermos, you are gonna need this thing! It is gonna cost you another trip to the Blue Ribbon BBQ and some beer!

I like it so much, I am gonna gus it up a bit with a sandblast and paint routine!
