I'm a half-step ahead of Tedd on when i'll be riveting next, but a full 
step or two behind him in terms of overall progress... Seeing as i'm 
only on the tail, and he's getting ready for the wings.  But i'm in the 
same boat you are, in that i've never done any riveting.

There's a lot of work to do to get to this point, though, so don't be 
afraid to start.  You'll probably be setting up your shop for the first 
month before you get anywhere close to wanting to rivet anything, and 
then you'll be doing preparatory work for the next month before you're 
ready to bang a rivet.
