Very nice. Your bending jig looks like it's deep enough to accomodate more than1 capstrip at a time, why not pre-bend 2 or 3 at a time?--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

You are right, I could have fit about 3 in there at a time. I had a system goingthat worked well and produced a finished rib per day, so I did not gain anythingby bending more than one at a time. I also felt I had a bit more controlover the quality bending one at a time. I am not in a big hurry.

Chuck,How long did you have to leave it in the jig? Did you wet the cap strip down firstor steam it? That looks like a pretty slick way to form them!Thanks for the video.MikePrunedale, CARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Metal Fittings

Has anyone built a Piet with a modified Model A Ford engine (i.e. high compressionhead, high torque cam, etc.)?If so, what have been the results?If not, what have been the concerns that have kept folks from doing that?--------Perry ShipmanLakeside, CARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet building youtube videos

Mike,I let the capstrip soak about 24hrs. I bought a 5' piece of PVC pipe and a capfrom Home Depot. I didn't even glue the cap. About $4, I believe. Gotta love Dave's jig for real economy!ChuckRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
