Preparing the nutplates for riveting to the trim tab plate

I got this idea from another builders website. I used a combination of my drill and my drimmel to make hole in a piece of wood to hold the nutplates while I countersinked the nutplate with my drill press. I am starting to notice that the plans don't "hold your hand" anymore. When they say to use a flat head rivet, your supposed to know to either countersink or dimple the hole.
UPDATE: 6/8/2007: This isn't the best way to dimple the nutplates. Check out this page.
