Haha.
So after looking at that tool I linked above, I think instead, im going to see if I could make my English wheel work as a multi use setup. Remove the upper wheel, and make it a rivet set tool. And a planishing hammer down the road.
But deep throat rivet set first.
I spent way too much time making the gas bottle mount today. But it came out pretty cool I think.
Are you planning to strap that tank down with something more secure? You could at least use zip ties... 
If it ain't dimpled, it ain't done!

I plan to make a chain, but the bungy straps will work for now.
So, the guy from experimental aero got back with me. He said his machine is only good for dimples, and not rivets. So I said screw spending the money on that.
I forgot I had this super cool old destaco linear clamp. So I picked up some rectangular stock today from a friend, and im making my own. Its way beefier, and has 36" throat depth. Get ready for all the solid rivets

Those are some pretty welds.
Thanks. You can tell where I started, and where I ended. Because the first welds look terrible lol.
I need to look into a water cooled torch if im gonna do stuff like this though. That torch was so damn hot that I had to wrap the tig finger around the torch so I could hold it lol.
Looking pretty good. Some more practice and you'll be laying down some awesome looking welds.
I highly recommend a water cooled torch. Besides being able to due a lot more weld before cooking your hand the torch is smaller too. Which is nice for when you need to get it into a tight spot.
Thanks.
It was my first real night playing with steel and the tig. Im feeling pretty positive about it.

Made my grandfathers present for xmas today. He is heading to florida with his lady friend the 1st of december. So I knocked it out so I could give it to him next weekend at deer camp.
Then i worked on the rivet press.

Thanks!
Grandpas life revolves around Deer, Land, And Remington firearms.
Nice, you even got some drop tines in there, that is probably my favorite piece of yours too.
I wish I had put more detail into the horns. But I was very tired from a weekend of way too much booz with dad and cousins and grandpa, and way too much sodium intake.
Cuz dimples.
Adam, I thought about you Monday. We threw away a 55 gallon drum full of new (NOS?) unused rivets...3 VidMars full. All I could think was wishing I could get them to you without going to jail. Your tax $$ at work....
It's depressing sometimes, the chit we have to do at work...
