This is just awesome! Thank you very much for this. I just got my 8610-2 🎉🎉 wish me luck !
Yay. Liked your video.
Cool tool.
Hi can you please explain how to laying rivets for curves and radius
Hello sir. Can i apply as your trainee, I'm sheetmetal with 2 years experience. Hope you can notice me.
Lesson learned
ADJUSTABLE RIVET SPACER - Which size do you recommend, 10 or 20 hole?
It really depends on how large a piece you need to work on. Generally, the 10-hole is easier to manage for smaller jobs. You can use the 10-hole for longer runs by overlapping.
Hi sir..Can you pls upload a video on how to read the structural repair manual?..Thank you sir
How do I lay out rivet lines equally if I don’t have a rivet fan?
Locate your two ED holes where your rivet line will fall out (fastener A and fastener B). Take that measurement between the two ED fastener holes (example 7.500 inches). Then determine how many rivets you need or what is required in your rivet row including the two fastener holes marked for edge distance (11 fasteners). Now it comes down to the math.
Take your measurement of 7.500 inches. And divide that by the number of fasteners you need minus 1 fastener. 11 fasteners required minus 1 is 10. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SUBTRACT 1 FASTENER!!! 7.500 / 10 = 0.750
0.750 is your rivet spacing. From fastener A to fastener B and when you go to make your last mark of .750 inch it will fall out on Rivet B. As long as your pitch of whatever diameter of fastener you use falls within the parameters of minimum and maximum pitch your golden!!!
Hope this helps!!!
@@knotessentialwhy did you choose or how did u get 11 fasteners?
@@manorajf15lover69 I'll show you tomorrow. Have a good night.
@@knotessential Thank you!

I hate how the FAA treat non A&Ps like morons. I am a professional Drafter and a Mechanical Engineer and design sheet metal assemblies all day long. I can handle these sorts of tasks just fine. The FAA needs to better distinguish between personal aircraft and commercial aircraft. This is why so many are doing experimental aviation.
you got that right! also, they should make a separate endorsement for rotor wing and fixed wing.
Much easier to work out dimensions if they are all in metric
God bless your for sharing your skills with us
Dont drill the rivet fan.
Never, ever drill through a rivet fan!!!!
Been doing it for over 35 years!!!!
Guys, if I dont have a rivet fan, how can I lay out rivet lines equally spaced out?
@@manoraj5804 You use math and a scale (ruler). Even with a rivet fan, you need the scale to determine your starting and end points for the fasteners in the repair area.
Get the chuck key out of the "lathe" chuck! And for gosh sake, if you're going to do drilling on YT use actual safety glasses over your small lens regular glasses - you should be setting an example of good practice in personal safety as well as technique.
