Brief Description:  Tungsten Bucking Bar

Here's a picture of my new tungsten bucking bar, with a pen for scale. I got this from Dean at http://www.buckingbar.net and its fantastic! Ignore how 'scruffy' it looks. It was nice and shiny before I took it to the sander and put that slight angle on the right-hand end. This is a superb bar, much heavier than an equivalent sized steel bar and very easy to handle. The angled end will enable me to get into more places easier, like the underside of the flap spar & top skin rivets, which is why I did it. Honestly, I've only done one flap with this bar, but I can almost guarantee this will be 'the bar' from now on. I deliberated for ages before buying it, but it was well worth it. Can't wait to start bucking rivets on that fuselage when it arrives!! :-)
