Drilled Rudder Stiffeners

Sunday, July 3rd, 2005

Here I am match-drilling the stiffeners into the rudder skins:

I drilled down into a piece of particle board laid on top of the bench, and put clecoes right in the wood. I was skeptical but it worked great.

Then there was a ton of deburring, which is not worth showing.

Deburred Rudder Stiffeners

Lots of work with the belt sander and Scotchbrite wheel tonight, to get the rudder stiffeners deburred. Not worth a photo though.
