Brief Description:  Finished the floor ribs

After church today I fit the last two floor ribs (attached aft of the bulkhead), and then I primed everything and riveted it all together. The squeezer would not fit in between the ribs, so I had to drive the rivets which held the ribs to the bulkhead. I also riveted in the two angles which attach the inner ribs to the wing spar center section. Once everything was finished, it looked pretty good. It is hard to believe that so much work went into this small area. After dinner, I went down in the basement again and worked on the two aft bulkhead reinforcing bars I messed up a few weeks ago. This time, I cut the thick bars with my metal cutting band saw. Its blade has small teeth, so it took a long time to cut the tapers. I finished everything up with a large vixen file. By clamping the bars together, I filed everything together, maing them identical. They turned out good. It is late, so I will quit tonight and drill the bars to the bulkhead (this time correctly) tomorrow.
