Thx for sharing! I made one similar and it works great!

[@IronManRestoration]

Congratulations. Glad to hear that. I’m making a sandblasting cabinet and bending 16 gauge sheet metal with this bender. That’s really awesome bending.

[@outdoorzone]

Iron Man Restoration nice! Looking forward to that!

Awesome job. I’ve been looking at the many examples of these and this one combines a) simple to make b) very versatile c) no super fancy tools required. I’ll make mine modelled on this with a few variable spaced slots. Cheers

Thank you cheers

Murray…agreed. I’m going to make one with 4” angle so I can bend 3” flanges on caps. This build is genius. It will save us all thousands on a new finger brake.

[@msumungo]

The tension adjustable support starting from 8:24 is absolutely clever. Thanks!

[@vivianwarran8804]

I bought a small metal bender from Harbor Freight with the intensions of adding fingers for my small craft projects. After watching your video, I now know exactly what to do to achieve that. Thank you very much for putting this video here; this is what I needed. You did an awesome - I love it.

[@TryThinkingAboutIt]

Brilliant. Too complex for me just now, but, give it a year or so..... Thanks. Before I forget: just about the tidiest metal bashing workshop I've ever seen.

I really like the slot idea for the top leaf, this is a well designed, well built machine, in my opinion.

[@koltonkinlicheene2297]

As of this moment I have no use for a metal sheet bender but I like watching metal work like this..

[@renatotrocandoconhecimento]

Ganhou o meu respeito. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Mrtommor0w]

It looks great and seems pretty cost effective but personally i would have used used thicker stock across the top and done away with the bracing just so i could have more room above for more longer intricate bends. Also would have knocked out a few slots at the end and drilled out long slots for some sliding adjustable teeth just so i could adjust it to the size i needed. Still though great build.👍

[@IronManRestoration]

Thanks

Belíssimo trabalho.

[@DaveWard-xc7vd]

I was intrigued by the notches that take the place of the removable fingers. Good example of keeping things simple.

[@IronManRestoration]

Thanks

[@shirleypetchprapa8771]

I second that. Been looking for good alternative for making an outright finger brake.

[@kellymondragon3404]

What a great build. I've watched a lot of brake builds and most of them are too complicated. This one is the perfect combination of simplicity and functionality. Well done, sir.

[@IronManRestoration]

Glad you like it!

[@davidchamlee8805]

Like the idea of the bending slots, however I would have one of the end two spaces notched with 1", 1/2" & 1/ 4" spacing as well to make those odd size box bends

[@leebannister3759]

What about making removable/adjustable teeth?

[@larrybud]

@@leebannister3759 certainly a much added complexity to the project.

[@SpaceMonkey23101]

Great suggestion - I was wondering how to deal with that. Thanks very much.

[@chriswiseman3820]

great design, im going to modify it slightly to fit in a vice.

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Pretty impressive! I'd have turned the welder down a tiny bit for those thinner pcs for the handle uprights, as I saw the holes burned into them. Other than that, pretty good. Would've liked some dimensions, as it would make it so much easier to do, though. 😕 (Edited to say I wished for dimensions)

[@robertsonroa9617]

Exelente buen vídeo amigo. Tremenda dobladora. Cuando haga la mía para graduar la apertura de entrada de lámina le colocó un bolantico o manivelas para no usar la llave de tuercas.👍

[@josephburnham4621]

Love the idea. You really show us a great tool we can fabricate. Thanks

[@funkintubin]

I love how simple this build is. I do have one question though. Most of the videos I've watched on how to build a sheet metal brake require cutting a notch in the angle iron for the hinges. How are you able to get away from doing that and how does it not affect the way the sheet metal is bent? I'd love to hear from you. Have a great day! 😎

[@IronManRestoration]

Thanks for appreciating. Mostly people used capsules hinges pin that pin hinges required notches in angle iron on the other hand i used simple door hinges that’s why no need of cutting notes in the angle iron. Now I’m making a sand blasting cabinet which about to done. I’m bending 16 gauge sheet metal with this bender. You can watch details bending in my next project. Thank you

Thank you it looks fantastic just what i need. Can you tell the size of the angle used if possible please.

Nice idea! Why not vary the slot spacing? You should be able to come up with a pattern that gives you at least 1/4” increments?

I would like to add my thank you. I have made a 2.3m metal break that can bend up to 2 metres. I used 5ml steel all around. I used large trailer hinges with grease nipples. I did have to recess them to be on centre. I am making 2m cat run pieces that can be joined together. Thanks for your video and skill.John

It must be good when you order metal you get the thickness you want. Here in Ghana everything on the cheap, box section 1mm thick, angle 2mm. Getting 3-4-5-6mm is out of the question.

[@cicelinochavesdeoliveira4159]

Muito bom Nota 10 pra você

[@Trainwheel_Time]

Love these and all. Its wonderful to make things like this. But realistically if I had a welder, a chop saw and bought all the steel to make this... Not to mention a big steel table to dedicate it to, I could probably just go down to harbor freight and afford to buy a brake for 150 bucks. I suppose it would depend on your situation. Nothing against it and I really love the video.

[@bigoldburb]

36" box is the biggest HF carries and it's $300 before any coupons. A 48" from other sources is $1,000 minimum on the low end.

[@garygerard4290]

Editing Dept. gets an A+ I'd think heavier hinges Would it have been a good idea to put in a few cuts in the angel to let you bend up boxes to odd sizes? Nice work

Groove it out were the hinges go and turn them over so the axis is centered, you will get tighter bends that way. the hinges the way they are now swing out when you make a beak. But still nice job.
