Brief Description:  Riveting the skins to the forward spar

There's no easy or quick way to rivet the skins....just do it one rivet at a time. I quickly got the hang of balancing the tungsten bucking bar on my fingertips and wedging my arm forward until I could press the bar up against the spar or rib and upward to the rivet. Then, b-b-b-b-BAP! The hearing protection is vital.
