I've got to rivet 3 sheets of 0.04 aluminum together. The seam will be 73 3/4 inches long. I'm thinking of placing the rivets 2 inches apart. Do you think that will be sufficient or do I need the rivets closer? Also will one row of rivets be enough or should I do two rows? Thanks for your help. http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=05&topic_id=1283717423 Thursday, 08 August, 2010 19:41:29 Tom E Welcome Loyd and WayneO! I can't offer too much advice because after 2 years I'm still working on my first teardrop. Only thing I would add is to have fun with your build - it's a hobby and not work! I'm enjoying it so much that I plan on building a second one after the first one is done - probably something along the lines that Grant mentioned above. http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=05&topic_id=1283717423 Thursday, 08 August, 2010 16:21:41 hulie enjoy hope they give you many idea's.. or even keep you and your build well informed of all the wierd angles and odd ball curve's and little twists you will run into ..... if not there are many pro woodworkers on hear grant and everyone have been doing these things for awhile and chance's are have run into all the problems that can be run into .. hope your build is as fun for you as it was for me and will be the best little bed you ever end up in.. i love ours very comfy... hey there are many … http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=05&topic_id=1283717423 Thursday, 08 August, 2010 15:26:05 Lloyd [quoted] [b]hulie wrote:[/b] ok no bigy look in your email they should both be there kruffle creek and the benroy.. ok cool keep them ideas flowing good luck with the build... oh if you are worried about your email you can edit your post just hit edit go in and erase it and edit it.. if you are worried.. but it is on the way keep an eye out ok..
