I have no experience bucking rivets. I think that this technique is a semi-lost art; it was done on the early Junkers aircraft with corrugated skins and tubular spars. A bucking bar on the end of a stick inserted into a tube to buck solid rivets. I've seen it done in a video about the Junkers F13 being reproduced in Europe.
I know I can do this with blind rivets, but I want to do it with solid rivets. My question for anyone with lots of riveting experience is, can this be done with the type of bucking bar I have drawn up in the attached dwg?
