HS Skin, hole duplicators

After lots of fiddling I started drilling on one of the new HS skin. I use hole duplicators for the edges and a long 6" drill for the internals. It is a timeconsuming process, first some edges with hole duplicators, then some internals by bending up the skin on one side and so on, and the skin must be clamped real good. I hope it turns out OK.

The 6" hole duplicator from Avery (or was it Aircraft Tools Supply) is too long for most of the holes. I therefore made a small one myself from a stainless steel ruler, one m6 bolt and a 3/32 rivet that is epoxied on. It works perfectly.
