STEP 4: Fini!
You are now finished and can start bending aluminum stock at will to create the worlds meanest brackets to hold your Arduino or whatever else you need to secure. Just don't use it for evil. Unless its only slightly evil, then it's probably OK.
To make a bend:
1) Loosen the wing-nuts and slide the metal between the flat plate and part D and then tighten down the wing-nuts (image 17).

2) Grab part A and rotate it towards part B (image 18).
|

|
3) Rotate it to the appropriate angle you are trying to achieve, in my case 90 degrees (image 19).
|

|
4) Return part A to its initial position once the bend is made (image 20).

5) Loosen the wing-nuts and remove your newly bent metal (image 21).

That's it. Set forth and conquer.
