New tools

Post by papakeith »

is there anything better? well, besides more tools :)

I already told you that I got a 3x rivet gun for Christmas from the Mrs.


Well, yesterday I got my latest order from Avery; drills, clecos, pliers, gauges, micro stops, layout tools, etc.

I'd say I'm pretty much ready to finish up my Vans project now. Almost.

I forgot dimple dies. Guess I'll have to order up some more stuff, right?

Pretty soon now I'll be a rivet banger in my own shop. I can't wait.

Oh, and the project? It's a toolbox. :mrgreen:

Keith, sounds like you are stylin'!

When we rivet that tool box together, we MUST use my new bucking bar!

You will need one of those then!

Well, I "plunked down" for a SteinAir bucking bar and if I can ever get these nose/tank ribs fluted :bang: then maybe I can try it out !!!
