What kind of blade do you use on your band saw? I have a simple 6 tpi blade on mine now but it cuts pretty rough on the last bit of a cut. Yours seems to cut smoothly. Thanks
At first, I was concerned that the one I had chosen wasn't going to be any good, or last very long. But, it has been working perfectly. Only 50 bucks! www.harborfreight.com/3-16-inch-air-hydraulic-riveter-93458.html
I'm at this stage of my rv12 build. Do you ever have problems with the Rivets not wanting to go in? My holes are all lining up and the clecos go in no problem. But often the Rivets don't fall in as it appears in your video.
Every once in while, I have had to do a "final drill" with a #30 (1/8") drill bit to get a stubborn pop-rivet placed. All the pre-drilled holes are 1/8", but sometimes multiple parts don't line-up exactly.

Hi Noah! Thanks for watching my video!
Very nice move to only remove the blue plastic covering around the rivet holes! 🙂👍
Thank Reuben! It's also good therapy....
Great to see you building again! I just started the wings and im having a blast!
Thanks Leigh! I'm getting close to ordering the next kit.
Awesome build! 😃👍🏻
Thanks Thomas!

Yep. An 18 tpi blade. amzn.to/3bKjpzU
What brand/model is your pop rivet gun? Seems to work really well. Do you recommend it?

Agreed on the final drill comment.
