Here I am sawing the aluminum tube to the correct length for the long aileron control rod while the late, great Ronald Reagan watches approvingly. 
Drilling the rod end holes.  I borrowed the 2 by 4s clamped to the drill press idea from Dan Checkoway's site.  I can't overemphasize how useful his site has been to me.  The technique worked great; the holes were perfect.
Then it was a simple matter of pop-riveting the holes.  Nothing makes me happier than when the plans call for pop-rivets!
