Last week I was traveling for work, so I wasn't able to get as much progress done as I would have liked. I did bring a box of parts to the hotel so that I could do some debur and scotch-brite scuffing work. I got back to my workshop at home last night and resumed prepping the parts using my bench grinder and bandsaw. I have ordered a higher tooth-pitch bandsaw blade, since the wood blade my saw came with is a little too aggressive for this thinner material in the ribs. Then I dimpled and countersunk a few of the holes in the nose rib parts before doing a quick spray of some primer to them. What's next? I should be able to start squeezing rivets in the first set of these nose ribs tomorrow, and finish counter-sinking more of the holes in the trailing ribs.
