How to Buck Rivet | Spartan Manor E08

Before I show my first trailer project using buck or solid rivets, I wanted to share this introduction to rivet guns and all their associated tools. In this episode I'll show you rivets, clecos, bucking bars and more, then of course demonstrate how to use them all to install a rivet. Using these skills, you can more easily maintain, repair, and restore your own vintage camper trailer, from Airstreams to Spartans like mine.
