More HS riveting

(1 hr.) top forward spar

Worried about quality of rivets. Some stick up from the skin a little, finger nail barely catches but wish it didn't. Also some are smashed a little much, max dia. is.160. I will check height, should be .038 to .050 in. This is the problem with being a cheap bastard and not buying all the tools, I still don't have the rivet gauges, I made my own by drilling which are good for checking dia. but not height.
