Getting reamed out

Next comes the ''reaming of the hole'' which is needlessly to say, a little nerve racking. I had to using a high speed cutting wheel to shorten the reaming bit in order to get the drill into position for the reaming. Turns out I was supposed to ream this hole a long time ago when the external skin of the fuselage wasn''t riveted on. To line up the holes, I stuck the reaming bit into the hole by hand and forced the two holes to line up for the final reaming with the drill. After totaling immersing the bit and the hole with oil, I slowly reamed this dude out. PHEW!!
