Riveting help in the Triad!
 
Help! I'm almost done with the RV-14 empennage. I have about 40 rivets on the top skins that I just can't get myself. My wife has not been much help. Tungsten bucking bars just don't suite her. Any suggestions on finishing this area solo or if anyone in the triad area with riveting experience wouldn't mind helping me out for some beer:)

Have you contacted your local EAA chapter? I know there are a lot of great guys and RV builders/fliers in your area that would be more than willing to help.

Carl,
You could probably ask that guy you work with that has an RV-4 that goes by FIXNFLYGUY on here..just sayin!

I'm told that guy doesn't come cheap.

I think I'll be in Greensboro to visit grandkids the week of Oct 18. If you don't find some help by then, I'd be happy to come over & help. You can pm me or email me at mcsophie@gmail.com

Beer cheap
 
Carl,you mentioned beer..which always negates any other need for compensation. Of course, rivets first, then beer.

I live in Greensboro and am building a -7 in Burlington. I am happy to help if we can work out a time. I am retired so pretty flexible.

If you need a hand I live in Oak Ridge. I'd be happy to help. I'll be starting my -10 soon when the kit arrives.
