Brief Description:  Riveted aft bottom skin.

Colten helped me back rivet the bottom aft skin today. We only have a few rivets left to finish next time. We backriveted it and it is really looking good. He bucked with the big back riveting bar that I picked up at Cleaveland Tool last summer. I had to drill out a few on the outside row because he wasn't holding the bar at a slight angle to match the curve of the skin. He figured out the problem himself so it was a good learning experience. He was a trooper and did a nice job.

Colten is building a model of the Titantic and plans to give it to his sister for her birthday. I helped him some on his project in exchange for his help on mine.
