Brief Description:  Riveting the VS together

Tonight I took the VS parts that were readied in the last VS build session and clecoed the rear spar together so that it could be rivetted. After riveting the rear spar, I riveted the ribs to the front spar, then clecoed the skin to the riveted sub-structure - then riveted the skin on. Some of the rivets along the rear spar and the tip need the no-hole yoke for the squeezer - so I will change the yoke out next time and finish the VS. Good build session. Teresa was crafting with me tonight so that always makes it better. A cold front came thru yesterday and it was a chilly 59 degrees in the shop when I started, and only 55 when I finished...bu it was 30 outside! I need that shop heater,
