Leaning post
I forgot to take pictures of the jig when we made the leaning post. The only hard part was the curvature we made on the jig. We cut 5 curved pieces for the jig from 3/4 inch ply. We took the 40 inch long divinycell h 80 panel and cut longitudinal grooves about a 1/4 inch apart to allow bendage. We bent it over the jig putting screws into the 5 curved areas. we went from behind and put cabo in the slots we made to help it stay that way. We let it dry. We took the screws out from the three center jigs and the foam stayed there. We then glassed the outside curved area with 17 oz, leaving about 2 inches on the ends of the two outer curved pieces of the jig. After drying we removed the piece and it was solid. We have done this a lot lately, putting screws on the outside and not glassing over them. Later we will tape that raw foam since its on the end. Or cut it off. We then did he straightforward box assembly and put two layers of 17 oz all over. We put some reinforcements of coosa (the gray pieces inside).
