1.) Keep the blue plastic on the external side of skins until you're done riveting - they get scratched very easily.

2.) Do the edge finishing of the ribs just as the instructions call for: before you flute and drill them. It's much easier to file down a straight edge than one with bends in it.

3.) Get a swivel flush rivet set. No Smilies!
