PHASE 5: Foot Traction

Once the foot-wells were mocked up and ready to go in.  It was time to make the flares on the hole for the anti-skid surface.

A friend of mine works at a plastic factory.  He has access to a CNC machine.  I had him make a custom flaring tool. It centers on a 5/8" hole.  It is convex on one side, and concave on the other.  One side has a hole that a bolt slides through, and the other is threaded.

You drill a hole in the board, put the concave part on the bottom, the convex part on top, run the bolt and hit with an air ratchet. VOILA..instant factory look.
