I mean back to the workbench - literally! This is a pic of a special table kit that ordered from Cleveland Tools. It provides a level surface to dimple and perhaps rivet large parts together such as aluminum skins. The black arm sticking up in the middle of the table is called a C-frame. This is the tool that allows one to dimple or rivet the holes drilled in the skins. The parts shown are all of the ribs and spars that make up the left side of the HS. They have all been dimpled.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.

Back to the work bench!
