Kevin, there are similar (if not better) plans on the web - for free.
Here is one:

Larry has plans for an 8' one:

I suggest you search the archives for more.

And, if you are going to build one, make it long enough to accommodate the rudder
spar (>48")

Couple more links for bending brakes,   I have built Ian Clarks design
brake and like it.   Johnson's  home depot brake  (under tools) looks
interesting.  I believe Murray is on the list.  He might have more to
report....
