My wife and I are finding riveting the bottom wing skins very awkward indeed. We've done the three inboard wing walk ribs and tonight moved the wing from the table to the [newly constructed] wing stand. We think it might be easier in there since we won't have to lean across the table; awkward since we're both kinda short!! We're finding it very difficult to ensure the bucking bar sits on the rivet being driven and not on aother already driven rivet or nutplate or whatever. And its tricky to make sure the bucking bar doesn't wander off when you have limited access and leverage. And finally, how on earth do you actually check that the rivets are driven properly except by the dubious method of blind feel with the rivet guage? Exasperated...
