Elevator stiffeners

Yesterday night I started cutting the stiffeners for the elevator. Since the left elevator has the trim tab and therefore the spacing between the stiffeners is different than on the right side, there are eleven different types of stiffeners. In total it's 29 pieces. I hope I don't mix them up during/after priming. Anyway, tonight I trimmed them to their final sizes on the belt sander and them edge finished them with the vixen file and the Scotchbrite wheel. They are now ready to be drilled to the skins.
