Completed fuselage disassembly and started countersinking - 4 hours

I completed disassembly of the fuselage and managed to get all of the pieces laid out in the garage. I began looking over parts and it's staggering to see all of the list of items on the to do list that need to happen before I can start assembly.

 

The item I was most keen on getting dome was all of the countersinking. And there is a lot. First I opened up the #30 holes on the longeron. I was very careful not too countersink too deep. This is always a huge concern for me as the data for a proper countersink is extremely cryptic.
Once I was happy with the #30's I then moved on to the #40 holes....Wow there is a lot of them.
