An excellent description of the tools and techniques of aircraft sheet metal work, showing each class of tools and how they are used. The presentation starts with cutting techniques using left, right, and straight snips, cutting notches, stress relief, deburring and polishing, drill starting and stop drills, center punches, dimpling with hand squeezers and an Avery press, and countersinking, fluting, bending with a small brake, and circle cutting.
Riveting coverage includes descriptions of various types of rivets, rivet guns, hand squeezers, sets, bucking bars, clekos, front and back riveting techniques, cutting rivets and removing misformed rivets.
The presentation concludes with the step by step construction from scratch, of a small control surface.
This video was originally prepared for Van's Aircraft and builders of the RV series of homebuilt aircraft, but is also an exceptional presentation for anybody needing to learn the basics of aircraft sheet metal work.
