Brief Description:  Started bending the longerons

Saw a set of dies made just for bending RV longerons somewhere a while back, and ordered a set for about $40 as I recall. I wasn't crazy about doing the hammer thing; these looked like a more precise way to get the job done. I made up a pair of aluminum angle pads to replace the cast iron faces of the vise jaws, and bent the first long curve in the right side longeron. It came out pretty well.

Hard to tell from the picture, but the curve in the longeron fits pretty close to the template.
