I ended up ordering two more tool boxes and practice
projects from Vans on the weekend and they arrived today! Wow that's quick! I
wanted to do another tool box and I really wanted to practice more setting
rivets. I also wanted materials so that when I start the empennage, I can get
some practice in again before I buck rivets on the real piece. Have the new
tool box #2 almost done. I'm really pleased with it. I have countersunk the hinge
instead of dimpling it with much better results. However I find it difficult to
countersink the hinge when a dimpled aluminum sheet is placed overtop. I need
to countersink a bit deeper but it's very difficult to get it right. I also
find it difficult to countersink when the loops of the hinge are sticking up as
it interferes with the countersink cage. I will have to find a better way to do
this come build time.
