Getting ready for the riveting session

I put duct tape on the W-906B/D spar flange bars on the main spar to prevent any damage from using the bucking bar while riveting the ribs in place. I also screwed 2 2x4’s to the top of the work bench to prevent the spar from scooting off the table top. UPDATE 12/14/2006: I should have used medical tape instead of duct tape. Believe it or not, medical tape is stronger when it comes to not falling apart when being whacked by the bucking bar.
