This shot is intended to show the setup of the C frame. You can just see the male dimple die, inserted into the same rivet set shown previously, now inserted in the bottom of the C-Frame., which is under the table. The male die just sits slightly above the rest of the table so that the hole in the skins can be inserted. The female die is placed in the ram, and a hammer is used to strike down on the ram which creates the dimple in the skin. All done by hand..... one hole at a time.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
