Rudder skin riveting complete and bending the rudder leading edge

Busy night tonight, I figured out a way to rivet the skins rivets in the tight spaces on the aft edge of the skin, using a back-rivet plate, and a wood chisel to transfer the action of the rivet gun ( last picture ), so i am pleased with finishing all of the rivets in the rudder skin tonight.
Also began bending the leading edge of the rudder using the taped steel pipe method as outlined in the manual, I will probably enlist some help to get this completed tomorrow night.
