Well, I spent the entire evening out in the garage (with the door open again!!), but the majority of the time was spent making some arrangements for the fuselage when it grows its next section. I cut my work table in half, and lowered the front half of it by 18 inches. This will allow me to use it at a comfortable level to make the center section, and then allow the aft fuselage and center sections come together. I can still use the table as a dimpling table, and it is sturdy enough to walk on. And, yes, that is a Mac/PC commercial on the tube...
While at work today, I snuck down to the machine shop and threaded the holes for the tiedown rings.
After I finished the table project, I set up the squeezer to set the 10 rivets we didn't do last night ('cuz my dad needed to head home, and these are easily set with the squeezer) on the 712 to skin bulkhead.
Then I got a start on the center section, part 2. I made the F-916C spacers as called in the plans.
These are made with the bar stock provided, but I shined them up a bit with the wheel.
