Apr 08, 2022     17-3: Start riveting left LE - (3.1 hours)       Category: 17: Outboard LE
4/8 1.6 - bottom left done, half of top left done
4/10 1.5 - finished all but the front tips of left LE

Took the day off as were packing to go camping. Of course I snuck out to work on the plane too and started riveting the leading edges. Got in a nice zen-like rhythm. Remove cleco, final hole align with 3/32” punch, place rivet, check flushness, drive rivet, repeat…They all came out really good. One minor skin ding where the bucking bar slipped, but no smileys with the Boeing flush set. Was actually able to drive all the bottom rivets by myself.

Got back from camping and knocked out the majority of the remaining left skin rivets. A few in the very front that I'll have to get help with and do them outside of the cradles. Good progress though.
