 22 NOV 14: Page 17-4 step 5, built wing stand: 5.2 hours
Once again, friend and RV-14 builder Mike Hammond came over and we riveted both leading edges to the main spar assemblies.  Again, riveting goes super-fast with two people doing the job.  Both wing leading edges done:
Time to build the wing stand to get the work benches free for future work.  I decided to use this one that I found again and again online:
A couple hours later and the stand is complete.  It turned out pretty nice and it is nice to be able to easily move the wings around the shop:
