Brief Description:  Riveting front spar assembly

Work continued on riveting the skins to the front spar assembly. I was doing this alone and found a couple of helpful techniques. The bucking bar kept marking the inside doubler when I would buck the rivets so I laid in a shop rag and made sure the rag was under the tungsten bucking bar. This helped alleviate the scratch marks. Also, putting a small piece of painters tape over the the manufactured head prevented scratch marks on the skin when using the flat sets and also helped keep the rivet in place. There are a lot of rivets to buck so I'll be doing this for a few more sessions.
