Skins Installed, Riveting Started

Today was productive. Got the spar assembly installed and clecoed inside the skins. Then riveted the spar to the nose rivets installed yesterday using pulled rivets and my rivet puller. I had to modify the handles on my puller so it would fit inside the structure. Then started the flush riveting process on the skins. Access to the rivet shop heads is pretty good through the open top. This process will take me a couple days as there are hundreds of holes and I'm working alone. I've learned the hard way not to rush it and take breaks. But my technique and confidence continue to improve.
