Angle Drill!

The angle drill came in today.  Having a real angle drill with various extensions and various length bits is absolutely worth it.  It’s so much better than the angle drill attachment that we borrowed.  I had no trouble drilling the remaining holes necessary.  Lots of unclecoing followed.

Next up: deburr all those freshly drilled holes, dimple the skins, countersink the spars and then put it back together and rivet!

HS Skins Drilled

Thanks to the annoying wait for some more tools, we only worked a few hours this weekend.  We did, however, get all the HS skins drilled.  Once the new angle drill and bits get here, we’ll be good to go.  I suspect I could just drill the corner holes of the stringer web without the skins and it’d be just fine, but the instructions do say to do it this way.  I predict significant progress in the near future.  No pictures, because nothing looks any different, we just moved a bunch of clecos around.
