Default RUST! Uggh.

I need to finish riveting the lower skin on the left wing. I've been working on the engine and wiring etc.
Last time I used the bucking bars was some time ago on the Cessna.....
I found 'em behind the seat in "Piglet" the Toyota 4X4.
Take the word of a lost soul...keep your tools in a cool dry place, and wipe 'em down with oil now and then!
I just spent the last hour cleaning them up and polishing the faces.

Default AAHHH!

But my Tungsten Carbide Bar is free of rust n' stuff. Steel bars....not so much.
I'm pleased that I don't have to worry about that much moisture in the air but the Pacific NW is a beautiful place to go flying!!
