    The only thing I've ever riveted was some sheet metal to shipping containers. This new world of aircraft riveting is strange and exciting...Gawley Gee...Thanks Walt! You sure are a swell guy!

    Informative for those who know nothing about riveting...now you do!

    This film doesn't take into account the smaller head NAS1097 rivets. These have a much smaller head and require a smaller or shallower countersink. Very handy for thin skin work. The top sheet no longer has to be .040 minimum to avoid knife edging the countersink.

    This is a very good demonstration of flush riveting. Better explained than any manual than I have seen.
