I got a surprise from Dad in the mail today - a pneumatic cleco tool! I had eyed these before, but figured it was a luxury item I could do without. Well, it may not be a necessity, but it sure is nice! I used it a little tonight and it really makes clecoing effortless.
I actually didn't go out to the garage to do any work tonight. I thought I'd just try out the cleco tool and clean up so I could be ready to get to work on Saturday. One thing led to another though, and before you know it I was marking stiffeners to be cut for the tank. But of course, once they were marked it was silly not to at least cut them into lengths, even if I wasn't going to finish them. But after they're cut, it just makes sense to go ahead and sand them to rough shape. But leaving them rough is just silly, so I might as well deburr the edges on the Scotch Brite wheel. By then the stiffeners were done and I could go to bed. Orrrrrr, I may as well just see how they fit on the tank. They fit just fine, so I suppose it doesn't hurt to just final drill them...
