Tail Post Parts (1.5)

1.5 hours

To build the tail post, first I had to put a 5° bend on a bunch of parts.  I pretty much followed Sonex's video exactly, and it was fairly easy.




Except for the doubler plate that is 1/4" thick!  I could barely make a dent in it with my little 1-ton press.  Eventually I got it just about right after putting my entire weight on the press handle and bouncing on it for like a half hour!

The idea is to have all three of these parts sit flat.  Still some adjustments needed but it's getting there:


Almost!
