Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 11)

I worked another short session tonight, but prepared four more pieces.....small steps forward.  I completed all the edge work and dimpling (mostly).  There are still eight holes in the Skin Doubler I need to dimple.  However, I need to get a reduced diameter 3/32 (#3 rivet) female dimple die.  There is a bend on each side of the Doubler that is rather close to the rivet hole.  Because this hole is so close, a standard sized die would deform the bend and jack up the piece.
