I made the rivets on the aileron control rods with the squeezer held in my bench vise. My Numatx squeezer is easily the best money I've spent on tooling; it's light, strong and love the foot pedal. It is the best tool for doing small part riveting tasks that are hand-held.

I put all of the pitot parts together to scribe the hole in the skin, and then cut it out using a drill and then die grinder. My right angle grinder with 1" disks is perfect for this.
