Additional Tools Recommended for RV-3B

Given the RV-3B kit's lower level of completion, I would like to know what tools, beyond the standard tools used for all RV's, that RV-3 builders are using and would recommend.

A "rivet spacer" would be an obvious one. Less obvious might be a press brake. Within some construction photos on Randy Lervold's website is what appears to be a combination bend, shear, and roll press brake. Are other RV-3 builders using such a tool? How large a press brake is recommended?

Any comments regarding the utility of this tool or any other "beyond the standard RV type" tools recommended for the RV-3B would be greatly appreciated.

Young whipper snappers today don't realize how good they have it. You want to build not just assemble?

Ok step 1 truck load of bauxite ore, smelter, rollers.....:D
