Default Getting a little squeeze (riveting)

My new rivet squeezer arrived today from Aircraft Spruce and right on
time too.

Anyway with a new tool to play with and nothing to rivet, I squeezed
over a few pop rivets I had already installed. Holy crap Batman did
those rivets look great and they're tighter than ever. I used 3/16"
cupped dies on both sides and I have to say they're the best looking pop
rivet joints I've ever seen.

I can hardly wait to start setting solid rivets...

Tony
