Lessons

Still learning, I do have some preliminary lessons, but have to elaborate on those.

Annotate

De-blue before writing on parts (use Sharpie)

Write part orientation (Left/Right/Top/Bottom) and relation to others

Air Tools

CHECK air pressure

Drill

Double CHECK the diameter

Use foam underlayer while drilling

Use template to guide drilling stress relief notches

Dimple

Double CHECK dimpling the correct side (outside is flush)

Counter-Sink

Pilot must go through hole and have space to pierce through

Fasten the ring on the cage

Do NOT push too hard, be gentle

Prime

Degrease before prime

Rivet

Cleco the parts when rivetting

Rivet gauge should fit chop head tight (not too wide/flat)

Use tape on flush rivets

Look at rivet gun NOT at bucking bar

Push rivet gun and bucking bar hard, Rivet softly

Back Rivet CHECK stay perpendicular during rivetting (prevent dents)
