Post-heating / pressing the plates as well (?). But as you said, a good rubber hammer and clamps will do it with enough patience.
    No need for water jet cutting. cause the plate itself is not straight in the planar dimension.

    talking about gantry


    What i am saying is that wyou will need big woodworking clamps to clamp together the front plate to the cut of the up and down plates. As the cut will be straight you have to push well the fron and back plate so they are flat against that edges. Which could be a challenge even with clamps . Do you get what i mean? You may be will need a press and then clamp. But when you have them at hand you will see.

    Cause if you dont clamp them well against that edge prior to soldering, you will need to epoxy level below the rails.
