Forming any -O material is not difficult at all.
But in that condition, the parts are not very useful either,
at least for structural purposes.

Whatcha making, Gary?

The inner skins for landing gear doors. The outer skin is flat and made out
of -T3.

I intend on having the finished parts heat treated to -T4 but first I've
got to figure out how to form them. The male hydroform die was easy to
make the hard part is find a place with the capability to form them and
the willingness to do a small run for a reasonable price.
