Made the bending tool. Pretty easy! Then used a school supply protractor ($1.49) to measure degrees. This was a bit by guess and by golly, but ultimately was very close to the needed angles. So much so that the skin fit into place very easily.
Tim had come over in the morning to help me flip the wing upside down so that I could install the wing tip close-out skin. After clecoeing in place I riveted things together and finished up. The question that I had for the day was the final step to ensure that the wing tip trailing edge was parallel to the trailing edge of the wing. It was, but I don't know what I would have done had it not been. The directions indicate to adjust, then rivet, but I don't see what there is to adjust.
