Rudder Stiffeners & new tools

Busy day today, went to pick up my new ( new to me anyway ) drill press and bandsaw.
Then continued the rudder stiffener trimming, using the snips, as it now seems like the easiest way.
Then cleco-d the stiffeners to the rudder.
Interesting to see how the trimming and the interlocking nature of the stiffeners means that the rudder skin can be closed very tightly and still have the stiffeners almost to the narrowest point.
Just ordered the last 2 needed stiffeners from Vans tonight.
