Dimpled right elevator skin

We put a little extra time in on Sunday to move things ahead.  We realized that we will need a 1/8" pop dimple die set to finish up the right elevator skin.
We have no pictures for today, so I thought I would throw in a photo display of what it is "to cleco".

Cleco pliers on the left, and a cleco on the right.  


When in the pliers closed, the top of the cleco is pressed down.


 This narrows the pin at the bottom of the cleco so it small enough to fit the the holes of the two (or more) sheets of metal you wish to cleco together.


Once the pliers are released, the top of the cleco pops back out, the pin at the bottom of the cleco expands to hold the sheets of metal in place.
