Added the crawling board to the fixture. The board is supported by a square tube that runs through the fuselage. The tube is suspended above the bulkheads so that it will not put load on the structure when I crawl inside for drilling. I put a rough bend on the skin using the push and roll method. Then I put the right skin under the left skin and held it firmly in place while I trimmed the centerline seam. I did the trimming using the Olfa P cutter 800. This method allows a trim line to be cut following the left skin edge exactly. For those not familiar with this method, you run the tool down the skin several times scoring a deep cut in the skin. Then you remove the skin and snap back against the score and the skin will break along the line. Much easier and more acurate than using shears. Then you but the two skins back together and drill the centerline hole pattern.
