My good friend Mike came over and we worked on our Tool boxes to get the hang of working with aluminum. Over the course of two evenings, the end result is a useable Tool box and a better understanding of how to use the various tools and the methods of construction. ...And yes, I had to drill out and replace at least 3 rivets! There are a couple of standard rivets that have smiles on them but they will hold just the same. I think my favorite tools are the Avery hand rivet and the swiveling deburring tool. ...of course, that will probably wear off after a couple thousand rivets. Hopefully will have an opportunity to inventory the Empennage and start construction this weekend. (6.0 hours to learn with Tool Box)
