Started on the HS Front Spar - I bought some aluminum angle from Lowes and cut a couple of pieces the length of my vise. I used the scotch brite wheel to put a 1/8" radius on the edge of the angle in preparation for bending the HS710 and HS714. I plan on leaving this angle on the vise, so I glued them on with some space age glue I got at OSHKOSH. We will see how long it holds.
