Built Bending Brake for Elevator Skins and Test Fit HS404 & HS405 on HS Front Spar - Went to a local lumber supply store and got a 10' kiln dried Hem-Fir 2x8 for my bending brake. I cut it in half and hinged the pieces together with no space in between.

Built Bending Brake for Elevator Skins and Test Fit HS404 & HS405 on HS Front Spar - Clecoed HS404 and HS405 to the HS front spar to think a little about how I am going to set the 5/32" rivets in the outermost holes in the HS405 ribs. The edge distances on the HS405 flanges were less than 2D, so I shot Van's an e-mail and they said they are fine. I am going to put a doubler plate on them anyway to prevent distorting the material when we set the rivets.
