I finally started!
Page 1, step 1: shape HS-609PP. Since the Scotchbrite wheel is backordered, I started in on it with a Scotchbrite pad. I’m definitely going need something more aggressive to get out the milling marks. I used the Vixen file to round off the end. That went ok, but was a bit time-consuming. Maybe the bench grinder or a bench-mount belt sander would make that go a little quicker. I’ll look around on other sites and see what others have done.

On the way home I picked up a few items including this handy tote for storing the clecos. I drilled a hole in the top to store the cleco pliers. I got this idea from somewhere, but I can’t remember where right now.

I didn’t put too much time into it, as I had a flying lesson (10 touch-and-goes at Boeing Field, whew!) and spent some time clearing a space on the bench.
