Brief Description: Begin Riveting Top Inboard Main Skin
I spent some time with Heather and Daisy practicing riveting on some scrap pieces. Heather then helped me rivet one rib and Daisy helped rivet one rib. They both chose to buck instead of shoot even though I think shooting is much easier, especially with the swivel flush set. Unfortunately, first Heather and then Daisy tilted the bucking bar and caused small dents in the flange of the front spar of all places. They were in tears. I told them they were minor and could easily be sanded out but that was it for them. They didn't even want to try their hand at shooting the rivets while I bucked. I then asked Philip if he wouldn't mind helping me and he said he wasn't up for the emotional trauma. At least that got Heather and Daisy laughing. I'm just not sure how I am going to make it through this project without their help. Everyone seems to have little interest in helping and then when they do they put too much pressure on themselves to be perfect. I try to joke around and lighten things up but to no avail...
