That sounds like a major milestone PK! And most of us here feel we have a right to gripe because we have to debur our preformed ribs.

Thanks guys. Being able to sound off here helps keep me motivated.
Sometime in the next 3 months I hope to be priming and actually riveting something. That will be a cool day. The day I drive the first rivet.
