Continuebottle nose root ribs?
Posted on February 21, 2014 at 2:40pm 5 Comments 1 Like
Root nose rib 75-w-4-1 drawn out does not match to root rear rib 75-w-4-2
if I where to make the nose rib x=0 and y=90 instead of 80, and do the same to the rear root rib, it would look more like the drawing of the nose and rear rib together, on pg 75-wa-1
Any suggestions…
progress so far, and a rib forming question

If you are looking for a good brake to build try Macsmachine.com. I built this one and have a video of it on my page. Good Luck
Hi Peter
I just want to confirm, a "Bending Brake" as you call it. is it a sheet-metal bender?
If this is what you are referring too, I'm
still trying to make a plan myself. started bending last night, but really struggled. I ended up making this JIG< and it seems to have worked well. I still have to sort out some sort of metal sheet bender, will send photos if i get it right.
Cheers
Deon
Hi Peter
