Tonight I finished riveting the bottom wing skin. Overall, it all went very smoothly. There are a couple of over driven rivets in there, but nothing that I felt worth removing and re-doing.
Because it’s not possible to see the ship head or bucking bar when setting the rivet, I used a couple of spacers (small blocks of wood taped to the bucking bar) to help brace against nearby rib or spar flanges to help align the bucking bar. It helps to be ambidextrous with the rivet gun, and to have a long reach.
