My first real day working on the Blériot. The shoot peen did make a big difference. After filling and compacting and more filling up, it just bends without any kinks. Really happy about the result!

Then the first rivet. Wow that riveter goes really well.

It's starting to look like a rudder. Next are four ribs made from sheet material. First I will make a "bender" to bend them.
