Finished riveting the front main spar to left HS skin

Once again, live and learn. On this left HS skin I had the riveting and bucking thing down and was able to not pound the skin so much with the rivet gun. I got to where I could mentally gauge the number of seconds spent on each individual riveting session, plus the sound the rivet makes when in real contact with the bucking bar. The result was a shorter, more accurate setting of each rivet. I think the overall look of the left skin over the front spar is better looking than the right.
