A few weeks back, I was working on a project that required bending some thin sheet metal and was having some trouble. While on a Google hangout with my Patreon supporters, my friend Evan mentioned making a sheet metal brake. I started looking into it and found lots of DIY versions online. There were all different types requiring different tools and providing different results. I mashed up techniques from several of them and made one in an afternoon!This is a 4 ft version that clamps down to an existing table when in use. When I’m finished with it, I can easily hide it away in seconds. This is great for folding aluminum, steel and more. There are lots of different ways to make these tools, some of which don’t even require welding! Check it out!

Pretty cool thx. I think I see some brakes that are also cut of brakes. I assume this one can't do this.
What’s the max thickness this can bend
Excellent vid.
Saved me from desiring a large industrial piece of equipment that I have no room for & no extra space to store. Kudos❤❤
Thank you for sharing I am going to make it.
IF YOU SET A PILE OF SAWDUST ON FIRE THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS BLOWING ALL THAT BURNING, WITH GLOWING EMBERS ALL AROUND YOUR SHOP WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!
All fire extinguishers use a rather high pressure!
A simple water spray bottle set to a wide spray will do just fine and it will smoke and smolder a good long while before it sets on fire.
Like so many videos, we ought to see the finished product FIRST so we can see where the video is going. Instead, the guy is talking and making gestures in air for us to guess at what he means.
Looks good, but those creases were weak if you ask me.
I want to make one to bend rabbit wire
Very useful. The savings in money and time will work for me.
