				I'm close to riveting my first QB wing skin. 
 
 Is the consensus of the brain trust that it is easier to do flat on a table or upright in a stand?
 
 Thanks in advance.

				good luck getting a consensus here.. everyone has what works for them and that is different for everyone.  Try a way and see if it works well for you, if not, try another way.

				Upright in wing cradle.  One person.  See Deem's site for pictures of how to 
 hold skins with safety wire.

				I haven't riveted skins on a -10 wing yet but on my RV-4 I did one in the
 stand and one on a table.  I preferred the table as gravity held the rivets
 in place before I got the gun on them and I avoided picking up all that fell
 on the floor.
 
 Also, there used to be a school of thought to slightly heat the skins before
 final riveting so that, as they cooled post riveting, they would be tighter.
 Not sure if that actually works but I did rivet one set of -4 wings
 horizontal on saw horses outside in the sun and they turned out nice.  Had
 to be careful not to get burned as the skins sure got warm in a hurry.
 
 Since you are in Arizona you might not want to try that.
 
 Obviously it turns out to be a personal preference and at least no one has
 started a flame war on this one yet - skirmish perhaps but hardly classified
 as a minor engagement let alone full hostilities.

				Wow, did not mean to get you all riled up, I just was trying to let they guy know that there is not one approach to doing this. I myself set it up right on the bench, but as you can see other people did it other ways. I was trying to let the builder know that it is ok to try out different techniques and find out which worked best for them. The one thing that is nice about this group is they all bring their unique way of solving a problem and give other builders options that they might not have thought of or tried.

				Acutally, I thought I discerned a pattern - on the bench for 2 people 
 and upright for 1.  FWIW, I can't imagine how 1 person does it on the 
 bench but I'm sure someone did.
 
 Another thanks to Deems for the safety wire pics.  I forgot where I saw 
 that but it worked like a charm.  Like so many jobs, it's very 
 satisfying once it's done.
 
 Note that you may need to file down the leading edge of the skin just a 
 bit so that it clears the leading edge skins  when it's riveted on.

  Thanks for the input.  I didn't realize that I had breached "Ginger vs Mary Ann territory.     
 
  For some silly reason I thought there would be a clear cut logic based reason for one particular way.  Maybe I'll do one one way and the other the other and give a detailed pro/con for the next schmuck down the line.
 
  On second thought, the safety wire in the stand sounds intriguing.
 
  That's it.  I'm going to do it on the stand.  (unless I do it on the table).

				Actually I was able to do my RV-4 wings by myself on the bench.  I have long
 arms and was able to reach from the rear spar to the front to buck the row
 of rivets where the skin attaches to the front spar.  It wasn't really all
 that much of a stretch as I recall. I don't think the -10 wing will be all
 that different in that regard.

				I wish someone would summarize the old primer wars arguments(reader's
 digest style, so to speak), just so that the newbies, and not so
 newbies could decide which way to go, without a need to relight the
 arguments, and whether those of us that didn't bother to research
 could decide whether we need to give up our corroding parts carcass
 and start over.  )

				I did it laid down horizontally; one person, short arms.
 Whatever works for you.
