Hi,
Many techniques to consider...

Ya know, I wish I had paid more attention to Dan Checkoway's web contents as I watched him finish his plane. Then I bought his CD and reviewed as I was building, when I got to the centersection prep steps, Dan has a great picture showing the rivet gun and C-Frame to buck a few rivets.
A few weeks later as I needed to dimple the centersection bottom skins, dreading getting my elbow fired up again (swinging the dead-blow), I said... I wonder... dimpled the scenter section in 45 min! I wish I knew this when I dimpled the wing skins...

So while I lusted after the DRDT-2 as being obviously easier on the elbow, the C-Frame works great, set the air down, use two hands to move the skin in-progress, one-hand reach and pull the trigger... ya can get a real rhythm going...

Dave,

Are you using your rivet gun to dimple with the C-frame? Which shaft/attachment are you using? Please enlighten me... Wink I do use my C-frame to rivet, but only with the shaft that has the flush/solid end...and only with a hammer (so far!). Interested in finding out your method with the rivet gun & C-frame.

FWIW, I would love to have a DRDT-2. Maybe for my next project I'll buy one if the budget permits.

Dan,
I use my c frame to rivet with the gun as well. It came with a shaft that has one flat end and one for rivet sets. The flat end fits in my rivet gun and works just fine. Don

Wow. I think you might potentially be doing damage to the rivet gun. If the piston in the rivet gun isn't impacting the shaft directly, it could easily split and jam the gun. Just as we were taught "never fire a rivet gun into the air," the reason is because the piston goes slamming into the end of the cylinder and can literally shatter.

If the piston is really hitting the dimpling shaft then disregard...but be careful, it could trash an expensive tool.

I reported one thing wrong. The shaft is shaped just like a rivet set made for the gun. Avery claims that the shaft is for use with a gun.
