Subject: DIY Bending Brake

From: "grantfair2001" <grant.fair@...>

I uploaded 2 files to the files section, Brake 1.bmp and Brake 2.bmp.

These can be viewed with the MS Paint program.

My brake is about 18" wide. I assume longer ones might work (with
bigger and thicker?) angle iron. Obviously, you have to subtract the
hinge length plus the hold down bolt distance from hinge (x 2) to get
the maximum width the brake will handle.

My drawing skills have not improved since my grade 8 drafting class
which was too long ago to specify <g>.

Let me know if you have questions.
