With my benches on wheels, I was able to move them apart and install some lengths of 2×4. These can support the DRDT-2 between the two benches, creating a more convenient area to dimple larger skins. My Dad first suggested this earlier in the year, and I’ve since seen several build logs where this has been done.
With the dimpled in place between the benches, I went to work dimpling parts. Starting with the top skin and components that mount to if (j-channel, doubler and a rivet), then moving onto the top side skins. It took some moving of benches to get at all the holes, but the second one went faster than the first.
My helper! She loves to come and see what I’m doing and help any way she can.
With the skins all dimpled, I clecoed the left top side skin into position for riveting. I plan to back-rivet as much as I can, and will do some research first to see what others have done before I begin.
