Sheet Metal Bending Brake Fabrication Free-ish

I just bought a 36" Metal Brake. I live in Quartz Hill, CA., which is just outside of Palmdale. I got it so that I can make cool stuff, including parts for my 2g ACLB. I have bent a few things with it, as practice, so I am familiar with the do's and don'ts. That said, I am posting on here as kind of an invitation that if anyone wants to fabricate/bend some parts, i.e.; skids, switch boxes, dash, console, etc.... then contact me and we can make it happen. This is my first sheet metal brake, so I am not claiming to be a fabricator or anything, just throwing it out there. Obviously I'm not looking to charge for this, since we would be learning about it, just looking to gain some real time making functioning parts on it. You supply parts, we take our time and plan it out, then go one step at a time. I have a drill press and a milling machine too. Let's make some cool stuff!

 

I have one of these also! I can be tuff when you are trying to make short bends but thats when i get a long pipe and shove it on the handle!

 

Good ol' cheater bar! Thanks for the tip! Im really looking forward to this
