Started today by using my Drill Press to drill the punched holes in the bracket blanks. The pre-drilled relief holes will make it easier to cut the parts out using the band saw and pre-drilling the rivet holes will help me match drill the brackets to the ribs. Image 1 shows me at work at the Drill Press. Image 2 is me (I seem to be doing most of the work if you haven't already noticed...) cutting one of the brackets out from one of the pre-drilled blanks. Image 3 shows one of the brackets after I've finished cutting it out.
