Back riveting using a bucking bar

A good session were I tried something for the first time. I have read about others back riveting using a held bucking bar successfully. I did not dear to try it on the tail cone skin. But I would like to use this method on the upper wing skins.

Bucking some nut plates to the wing spar felt like a good way to test/practice. Went great! I will find some thin scrap pieces to try on before doing it on the skin but I now know that I can do it on stable parts.

I am also posting a short video showing off my favourite tool, the pneumatic squeezer.
