Rivet today. Boeing taught me how to install rivets in various types of materials and I am now certified to install them on the airplane.

When I heard I would be learing to do this I thought "Hey, cool, The AK should be a little easier to build". I was hoping to be able to use this newly found knowledge to assist me.

I know how to rivet...

Aluminum,
Stainless steel,
Titanium,
Carbon fiber,
Flesh,
and all of them in a stackup.

However the last one on that list was a "certification" I id not want to achieve, subsisquently I am now wearing a wrist/hand brace.

So let me see if I have this right...


"Today", you learned how to rivet all of the above (minus flesh), and got "Ceritfied" to install them on aircraft?... And to top it off you have to wear a wrist/hand brace?


We had a word for guys like you in the ARMY.... All Im going to say is FUCK that!, if that is all the certification/training Boeing requires to throw in rivets, and you still hurt yourself, Im not flying on any airplane you have your hands on.

His nickname was already "rosey" but that was for a different wrist injury...

Probably using a Cherry Max rivit gun and you hurt your wrist when the stem popped off.

It appears after his little riviting misadventure that his hand (or at least part of it) is still on it.

Nope, I was holding the bucking bar... and the guy riviting fucked up bigtime and messed my hand up. My wrist isnt hurt, my hand is. The wrist brace has hand support.

Yes I was... That was the right hand...

This is the left hand now... I am really starting to feel old now.
