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.
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.
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.
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.👍
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
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.
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! 😎
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
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
DIY , thanks I was planing to buy one of thus machines but I can make it my self , ill just go to the store and get welding machine and all those tools you used to build on 🤣
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)
I built something similar about 50 years ago. On 18 gauge aluminium strip up to 2 inches wide it was fine, but when trying 6 inch wide aluminium all that happened was it bent the door hinges at the ends because the forces involved on wider pieces are huge. That is why commercial versions of this style of bender use 1/2inch to 3/4inch diameter hinge pins.
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.👍
I was looking at buying a sheet bender, but being in Australia, everything is expensive down here. Or i can buy a cheap crappy one on ebay. So i looked up how to make my own and found your video. Looks pretty simple to make and I have most of the materials already. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Oh, and I like the slots for making trays and boxes. Nice addition. 😉
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

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.
Excelente amigo Que tengas un buen día y que Dios te bendiga Gracias por compartir te hablo de Costa Rica puntarenas Me encantó la la dobladora de chapa Okay gracias
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.
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.
Thx for sharing! I made one similar and it works great!
Congratulations.

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

Thumbs up just for the slots in the bar idea which allow folding a box!

What about making removable/adjustable teeth?
@@leebannister3759 certainly a much added complexity to the project.
Great suggestion - I was wondering how to deal with that. Thanks very much.
I like that kind of videos, clear, effective and accesible to work with simple tools, Thanks
Thanks for the video mate. It's great to see you making some of the most useful tools with perfection.
Thanks a lot
Luxusní, takhle nějak jsem si to představoval a super že to vidím v reálu že to půjde.👏
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?
Great tip!
The slits you put into the top are a great idea. Thank you for the video.
О, петли - навесы из Леруа ))) это ахххренительная точность гибки будет LOL
I was intrigued by the notches that take the place of the removable fingers. Good example of keeping things simple.
Thanks
I second that. Been looking for good alternative for making an outright finger brake.
EXCELLENT WORK !!! I love it. Especially those slots you put in there for making a perfect box. Going to try my hand at making one.
Thanks a lot

Это только для тонких листов. 1мм не согнет на всю ширину, да и на половину тоже - нарезанный уголок очень прослаблен.

I'm looking to make one of these, your idea is the best in my opinion
Ganhou o meu respeito.
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏
The simpler the better. Congratulations!
Thank you
Best idea i have seen was cutting those slots in top bar to help folding. AAAA++++

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.

Bạn là bậc thầy rất thông minh sáng tạo. Tôi khâm phục bạn !
Muito bom! 👏👏
Gracias amigo justo lo que buscaba 👍 saludos desde Lima Perú
Надо вместо гаек зажимных по краям, эксцентрики зажимные. Просто вразы быстрее и удобнее работать будет.
Как это сделать самому?
Или гайки-барашки
Enemies? 🤔 Perhaps a Google Translate issue, there.
gran trabajo, felicitaciones . y gracias por compartir su conocimiento. saludos desde Perú

Te felicito amigo desde Venezuela saludos y bendiciones para ti y tu familia
Улыбнуло, особенно дверные петли, бесполезный инструмент. Только коробочки гнуть из жести.
И то с небольшими краями
love the ability to do a full box
Петли слабые - посерьезней надо.
Для кровельного пойдёт.
As of this moment I have no use for a metal sheet bender but I like watching metal work like this..
Excelente trabajo gracias por compartir Dios los bendiga siempre
Muy bien, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, saludos desde Puebla, México.
Buenas tarde hermano excelente herramienta gracias por compartir sus conocimientos saludo y muchas bendiciones desde Venezuela Edo Carabobo Ali Molina
Super ! Merci pour le partage, je vais essayer de la fabriquer 🙂
عمل اكثر من رائع سلمت يداك
Excelente dobladora gracias por compartir la idea saludos desde Valencia Venezuela
Does the job nice!
Всё гениальное просто !
Love the gaps so can fold a box. Very well done 👍🏻
Thanks a lot
But what if your bend is 22 3/8"? Your slots won't line up right?
Going to build one next weekend!
great design, im going to modify it slightly to fit in a vice.
Nice job on the fabrication and excellent result. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Nice idea, simple way presenting of making process and best remedy for bending sheet metals. Is it possible to bend 14 guage sheets with this one
Felicitaciones desde Venezuela ❤️
Very good build. 👍👍
Glad you like it
Vraiment incroyable !
Très bons travail !
Very nice Box/Pan break
Thanks!
Многое иудрёно и лишние, но задумка и исполнение 👍
Tá de parabéns top excelente trabalho amigo
