Brief Description:  Finish dimpling the right and left HS skins

Worked on dimpling the left and right HS skins. Originally (yesterday) I started out using just the C-Frame, then thought I would try the hand dimpler (around the edges) which was faster. Tonight I started out with the same approach. However, after looking things over closely and comparing the results of the two methods I came to the conclusion that the C-Frame leaves a much cleaner dimple. The hand dimpler tended to cause a slight depression around the dimple. The C-Frame left no such depression and produced a clean dimple with smooth/straight metal surrounding the dimple. ...So, I decided to go back over the hand-dimpled ones with a light tap on the C-Frame and this cleaned them all up.
