March and April

My next challenge was riveting in too small a space.  My first try left some sticking out, which I had to drill out.  I didn't want to repeat this, so I got on the EAA and watched videos of people solving this problem.  I decided to make a tool for the occasion.  I filed down a rivet puller on one side only.  The mechanism still worked and I got the rivets in.
