 Finished drilling the lightning holes on the VS-808PP spar doubler
The holes turned out nice on the spar doubler. I am starting to take the suggestions made on the Orndorff Videos with a grain of salt. My background in home construction kicks in every once in while and makes me have a raised eyebrow when something doesn't sound like it's the best way to do something.

 Finished deburring and sanding the rear spar and doubler
That scotchbrite wheel is a real life saver. Once pass over the wheel and a little light hand sanding is all it takes. The sponge sanding blocks from Lowes (aircraft supply) really make a nice rounded edge on the aluminum. I always finished everthing off with some regular 300 grit sandpaper just to make sure I get everything as smooth as possible.

 Added another air outlet for paint sprayer
I knew eventually that I would need to use a paint sprayer, but was dreading unhooking everything so I could have a "dedicated" clean hose that didn't have any oil inside of it from the in-line oil lubricator. Then I came up the idea of putting in a new "T" in front of the in-line oil lubricator, which would prevent oil from getting into the line. I also have a 2nd air regulator at far right of this setup for a constant 38 lbs of pressure for the rivet gun. That way I will always have my drill and my rivet gun ready without having to jack with air pressure.
