For build information visit http://gordsgarage.wordpress.com/. This is my version of a homemade bending brake for 10 gauge sheet metal. Total build cost was $88 not including some scrap I had laying around.

  • thanks for letting everyone know to add the thickness of materal to your bend?

  • title should read homemade 18 gauge bending brake just saying

  • Quality - well done. Can I suggest a cavity around the lockdown location hole and install a serious valve spring - when you back of the clamp bolt it'll lift it up and sit there - just pulls back down when you tighten. Will work for both lengths of bolt.

    I like to see guys that can think-it & do-it! Good job.

  • Very nice. I was gonna build something a little simpler for myself, but this is just to cool.

  • Nice rig. Now, one side is bent, how about the 90 degree side?

    I think that removable fingers would be a more general solution.

    Nice stiffening bars for the centers for the camp piece and the bending piece.

    Also, cool metal cutting saw jig for the notching of the plate.

  • Ok heavy duty stuff there, bends well... just one suggestion weld or rig a "cam" like mechanism(offset thick washers might work) with long lever handles to raise and lower the jaw/clamp that would really speed things up

  • 5 minutes to over bend a piece of metal?!

    just kidding

    still badass and could be very useful in a post apocolypse scenario

  • Very interesting jig. Thanks!

  • @cansigns Actually, your comment was shitty towards the poster, and had absolutely no bearing on my comment. Im angry, because i hate ignorant assholes such as yourself. Im also angry, because in todays pussified society it would be unacceptable to give you the ass beating you so rightly deserve.

  • NIce JIG ! real slick !
