The flush rubber guard swivel set does make it harder to mess up, but, with effort, you can still put a nice happy face on a skin.

Yeah right, only skill and practice will do that...ain't no swivel on the bucking bar and that is the ONLY tool that ever marked my skins. A slightly missplaced bucking bar will do the same in reverse, get a good flush set with a rubber perimeter ring that's trimmed flush with the surface of the rivet set, or you will need help buckng all your rivets. (wobble wobble) 



It's easy to hold the rivet gun flush, it's the bucking bar that's often blind and tough to align...not the rivet gun. YMMV...IMHO...just my 2cents...all that stuff....I'm done riveting so 16,000 of them give me some street cred...   (Insert young nephews lingo here)



PS...talk to a "real" sheet metal guy and see what he uses..."what do you mean 2X..3X"...we sign out a gun and a rivet set with bars and get to it...use the trigger...you mean there are different size guns beside light and heavy??



Really...conversation with a 767 sheet metal guy who riveted on my airplane with such skill it was mind boggling....



practice makes perfect...wait till you see my next RV...Sh$t....hope my better half didn't hear that.

I like 'em because they make bigger smilies.  Easier for hanger visitors to

see.  And comment on.

I always so 20,000 when people ask.  Sounds impressive.

At one point, someone said there were over 14,000 in the wings

alone, which was similar to a complete RV-4.   So my guess

would be 29,674.

That should look great, just barely seeing any rivets through the paint 

looks cool.  When you don't see the rivets under the paint, but know they 

should be there, then that's not too cool.



Can't say I won't have any masking with filler but I've tried my best to 

minimize it.



Next plane will be plastic, but need a real shop disconnected from the house 

for that.



These controlled collisions between gun, rivet and bucking bar leave me 

longing for something different in the future.

I think that you missed those rivets by the baggage door, there were 29,678.
