Make my skin crawl

I started to mount skin today, My friend Murray picked me up some 16mm x 5/8'' upholstery staples so I was able to start gluing and stapling some plywood (thanks Murr), got signed off on our big Altendorf saw last week as well, so no more bugging people to do my dirty work. I borrowed a line bleeder from my buddy Cliff so that I could adjust how deep my staples went, (wanted the crowns exposed so they would be easy to extract) but found that it was easier to just turn off the compressor and bleed the tank till the pressure was about right, a little stapler doesn't seem to run through much air. Made some good progress, hope to do more tomorrow. The plywood has some definite waves in it, so I see some fairing in my future, but all in all I think its turning out pretty good. (I was thinking of doing a little bit of video, we'll have to see if I have time.) Thanks to James Lindblom for today's pics......(sponsored by Macintosh I-phone........no, just kidding)
