Brief Description:  Rivet left top wing skins

Riveted the top cleading edge skin to the main spar using the pneumatic squeezer. Filed the scarf joint taper into the corner of the outer top skin where it overlaps the inboard skin. Deburred the edges of the outboard skin and used the seamer to prepare the inner edge for overlap with the inboard skin. Dimpled the outboard skin and clecoed it back to the wing skeleton. Barbara came out and got her first taste of riveting. We did a few trial rivets then riveted the inboard skin to the ribs. This was done by backriveting from the underside. Barbara held the bucking bar against the flush head of the rivet on top of the skin and I set the rivet with a back rivet set from the underside.
