Well. I built myself a sheet metal brake from scratch and then scored a cheep shop press for $20 with a bad jack. I swapped out the jack on the press and she works great. Here is my first project with the new tools. this is my version of super stock seat brackets. they are made from 1/8" aluminum sheet.
here is the brake i built
then i started the layout for the brackets.
drilled my holes
this is where my shop press came into play. i picked up a set of dimple dies and they make the sheet metal 100x stronger
then i had to run them thru the brake.
here they are all done.
