Brief Description:  Dimpling

Finished dimpling the skins. Did both 823 side skins, the F-842 canoe (bottom), the F-824 side skins, and the F-825 rear top. To do the bottom and top, I top the dimpling frame out, embedded the bottom dimple in a 2x4, then laid the skin on the dimpling table hanging over. Piled up 2x4's to bring the dimple to the level of the skin and then used the striker from the old c-frame dimpler to hold the female dimple and hammered the holes by hand. Took a bit of manouvering but it was the only way as the skins would fit under the dimpler.

Used the hand squeezer with the dimple dies to do the holes along the edges.
