I, for one, really like your avatar! And I'm a little jealous. I never got the welcome from Mike S. I found most answers I needed on here by searching after I joined up and didn't write any posts for a long time. I guess I kind of just slipped through.

Thanks for the kind reception

So my first question... dimple die for a squeezer, on a flat c-sink #3 (edit: might be a #4 remember now will check in the morning) rivet in two sheets of .032"... what's the procedure? Anyone care to explain or have a good link? I'm trying to put together my Vans Toolbox practice kit... and want to get it right. Even my A&P guys I know weren't really explaining, they said they had a rivet set for that? I tried a few searches and have come up even more confused.

Thanks!

Okay... now that I have been playing with my rivet gun a bit...
Where do I find out about a sheetmetal workshop or something in AZ? Apparently this is something I have no natural talent for.

How close to Chandler are you???

There are a couple RV guys up there, maybe you could get some "one-on-one" training if you brought the beer

About a 45min drive, but I'm at KCHD just about every weekend over at Quantum
