Brief Description:  Profiled Horizontal Stab Part 17 T25 Rib

I ended up completing the end T25 rib using the oak form block (thanks Wayne!). The form block was by far the easiest method. The bending brake worked ok, but the sides are taller than it is wide on the skinny end, so it really didn't make a good bend. I was able to finish two crisp 90 deg. bends using the block. I chamfered the edge at a 45deg angle with my router to make the bend on the edge instead of using the steel form block. I did fine-tune the 90s in the rib before I chamfered the edges of the form block so there was full contact of the backer block to the form block when in the vise. The form block just tapped out because it was a taper form anyway.
