Well, I enlisted some help. My dad came in for a couple weeks to visit and I
was quick to put him to work. I managed to get all the rivets in on the
bottom skin without having to drill out more than a handful. It’s a lot
different riveting now that you can’t easily check the shop head of the rivets
easily. I have gotten much better at “feeling” them go in and knowing when
enough is enough.

Dad helped me deburr the right side skin after I trimmed off the triangle
according to plans. While he was finishing up, I hit a few more surface
corrosion spots (typical of this kit as old as it is I guess) and spot primed
them. I then got ambitious and put an extra bur cutter into my power drill
and started experimenting. Long story short, I went to Lowes the next day and bought a small, handheld cordless screwdriver and ordered a hex adapter from Avery Tools. It’s so much faster and easier than having to spin the manual driver and with the lighter tool, I’m expecting less fatigue and sore wrists the next day.
