But to lay carbon fiber you at least need a strong vacuum pump, and even better would be an autoclave. A vacuum pump wouldn't be too hard to come by, but then other materials would be needed - vacuum bag material, thick rubber adhesive tape to seal the bag, mylar, wax for the mylar, and of course the carbon fiber cloth and epoxy resin. Two identical pieces of aluminum or some other metal with the kickup angle would be placed on both sides of the carbon fiber cloth, and clamped together to make the desired shape.

Mr Constructor in Germany has done a lot of 7075/carbon fiber integration. I will try to find his website and post it later after I get home from work.
