Brief Description:  Mid Fuselage - Dimple the bottom skin

After removing all the ribs and preparing them, I flipped the mid fuselage over for deburrig. First I removed the blue stuff, then I used my little electric drill with the countersink bit to debur all the holes.

I used my DRDT to dimple the bottom skin. You can see it is the same height as my workbench so together I can hold and dimple a large skin like this with ease.

I did not dimple the aft two most rows except for the hole under the rib flange because that will be rivetted to a dimpled rib which is rivetted on and I won't be able to dimple it later. These holes do get dimpled later after match drilling with the aft fuselage.
