Still struggling
Uggh.. the bending saga continues. I thought I had it licked last night but nope... the skin is just so long that whatever I use flex's in the middle. I get good bends on the ends but he middle flex's. I even bolted a 3/8" think hunk of flat iron to my 2x8 to keep in from flexing. Didn't work, even it flexed!. (My 1 foot test piece bent beautifully.)
Not sure where to go from here. I'm trying to figure out a way to apply pressure on the center of the jig.
(Time: 3 hours)
