Here are some more detailed pictures of how I made the aileron skins.

Looks great, Steve! Now you got me thinking about doing this myself...... hhmmmmm more tools.

Another use for a press like this would be making the round fairings for the fuel tank outlets. I made mine with fiber glass but it would be easy to punch them out from soft aluminum. The press is available from Harbor Freight for a pretty reasonable price. The forms could be turned out on a lathe using cherry or maple wood.
