Brief Description:  Rivet left leading edge

Completed riveting of left leading edge. For this session I put the cradle on top of my Workmate at its low level, which ended up being a perfect level for working. This was much easier than my previous session working on the floor and it was much easier to get a quality rivet set. By the time I finished the leading edge the only two rivets with a "bad" mark on the skin were the first two rivets I set!!! I need to remember to take my time on the first rivets of a new piece, make sure the work is positioned well and start on the bottom side if possible!

After completing the leading edge I removed the top main skins from the wing skeleton and began countersinking the rivet holes in the main spar.
