Started Riveting F-705 Bulkhead - 2 hours

I managed to squeeze in a small amount of work tonight. I began riveting the lower portion of the F-705 bulkhead. I decided to buck these rivets since with a proper setup, I have really good success setting straight and virtually perfect rivets. The pictures don't show it well, but I stand the bulkhead vertical and clamp it to the wood uprights on the edge of my table. I then have excellent access to buck all the rivets along the bottom.

All finished for the night, just will need to squeeze the rest as the material is too thin to buck the other rivets.
