Made a tool to help pull rivets

[nelmstr]

Hey y'all,

Hope this helps with rivet extraction. A couple of minutes with an angle grinder and a cutting wheel can speed up dealing with the hundreds of rivets. Here's the demonstration video I made.

Good job, that looks like a pain to do and noisy, I bet

Toda iremoved all the ceiling tin in my 28 foot Bluebird shorty the old fasiond way. Air hammerred out all the mandrels and then air hammered with a chisel all the rivets off. About 5 hours. That tool looks pretty efficient though. I would have made one just to try it but the job is finished now

Something cannabalistic about Rivet air hammering rivets.

Cool tool,

My ceiling panels were screwed in.

Lucky Lucky you. Have been known to grind them rivets to make my bread and drill them with with cobalt until they shred shred shred Insert evil boo wah ha ha laughter here.
Screws are so much easier. All of the transition panels were screwed in. Still a Royal PITA day.
