Hi All,
More creative bending to finish fit the front rib. The very tight end bends were the worst. One more to go.
One thing I didn't mention was, when bending the straight blank piece, I started the forming in the centre and slowly worked out to each end. And sometimes I had to bend the copper into a shape I didn't want just to be able to get access to bend anything at all.
When finished, I will glue the end ribs onto the wood body.
