2021-02-18 Practise

My first attempts to set rivets!
About 50% were okay.
Some flush rivets became slightly too countersinked.
(i gueess)
The universal ones is okey from this side.
(no smileys)
On the back-side we can se that some rivets are over-squeezed.
(more practise)

and my first dimpled holes!
Two of them just a little over-dimpled.
