I'm not trying to one-up you, but I did
all my wing skins also and actually spent zero since I already owned several
sledges. (and now one with a hole drilled in the handle). mine will work
in a Florida environment, you know, no power, knee deep water everywhere....
:-) I think I still have some drawings for it around here. it is
dirt simple.

too bad I couldn't loan you my foot operated sledge hammer powered

I
used a squeezer on nearly every rivet on the
tai.

Ebay)
This
foot-operated, 9 inch throat monster (CP-351A) along with a more conventional
CP-214C with a selection of yokes made it possible for me to squeeze almost
all the rivets on the tail.
I only
had to use the C-frame for 3 or 4 dimples on the rudder, maybe 8 places on the
HS and VS. The rest I did quickly and easily using "Mongo". Well worth the
money. I see them all the time on E-bay for about $100, give or take.
