This section bends the Fwd Fuse skins to match the bottom contours. I had to make a trip to Mom and Dad's to use his table saw to recut the Clamping Block, Otherwise pretty straight forward, It was a little tricky in getting the aft edge bent, On the Left skin, the clamping block moved when I was striking the forming /twisting bars and it may have put the bend a little higher/tighter than it shoudl be. I'll check when clecoing for match drill, if it's too tight, I should be able to take a dolly.bucking bar to it and back it down a bit. I found that in addition to using the method in the pictures that in order to get an even distribution of 'bend' that simply using your fingers and applying pressure in spepcific areas, whil putting the twist in with the vice grips worked much better that just using the vice grips and hoping that it all works out. That's the problem in building, it takes about bending 4 skins to figure out your technique, and by that time your done before you have the opportunity to do the 'perfect part'. The other thing is that I'm not convinced that it was necessary to make the cut to the clamping block, the angle is only slightly different than the other side and in the final analysis those angles dont' seem to be that critical, it seems you could just as easily have turned it around and sanded the 1/8 radius on th edge. (But them some lucky Phoenix builder wouldn't have the pass along gift)
