Long interlude between posts while family, work, travel and other interests dominated - but still tried to get out to the shop as often as possible. Interesting experience to pull everything together for match-hole drilling, only to disassemble for the always-necessary deburring and dimpling. Deburring and dimpling are great, almost mindless activities that lend themselves to minutes or hours of time as available. It's fun to experieince even simple manual skills improve with repetition. I finally have a couple of dedicated days, and hope to get the priming of the horizontal stabilizer structure and skins accomplished during them. Then, back to the rivets!! Hope I haven't lost the touch (such as it was); I'll practice on a few scraps (rapidly accumulating as I discard less than perfect work) before I hit the "real stuff".
