| I had a motivation problem during the week and took a couple of nights off from the project. But tonight I got back on the job. It was time to rivet the canopy channel frames together with their splice plate. I looked at the drawings for the rivet call-outs and saw that they called for flush 4-4s. Whoops. Gotta do some countersinking. I did that. | ||||||

| The key to riveting is securing the work firmly and having good access. When you have those two things, riveting is easy and comes out great. | ||||||

| All done. I'll have to touch up the riveted area with the Hammered silver. | ||||||
