[QUOTE="thill, post: 503925, member: 4972"] Getting drilled HURTS. Glad it was just a finger and not the middle of her hand where there are nerves, tendons, etc. Can't blame her for quitting. You will make jigs, blocks, use ratchet straps, to hold stuff and you will survive. Or get another helper, as you say. Give them a 2x block next time. When riveting, I drill my holes a little small and use screws to hold the patch in place, nice and tight, then after the rest of the rivets are done, I pull the screws and rivet those holes to finish. Just curious... did you float the boat to find the leaks before starting? Or is this just preemptive sealing? [/QUOTE]
