Rudder Finished!

I didn’t take many pictures of the finishing process, but it took me quite a bit of time on Saturday to get it done. I got all of the front edges rolled first. Luckily, the tool that I saw on the internet worked really well. It was just a bedroom clothes hanger pole and some 7/8″ sockets epoxied to the inside. It worked really well and I bet I’ll be using this same tool quite a bit in the future with other rolled edges.

The front edge forming was actually easy to do but just time consuming. I luckily hit the predrilled hole in the counterbalance weight but that also was easier to do by drawing a line in-between the two screw holes and then splitting the difference in the length between them both and it was right smack dab in the middle of the pre-drilled hole. It turned out pretty good though!
