  • I actually saw this technique for bending thin metal in a beehive making video. You can watch it here:

    Tools and materials I propose:
    Circular saw: amzn.to/2pJu9Hf
    Hinges: amzn.to/2QNZnsg
    Rotary tool: amzn.to/2IKdUSS

    Just the right design I need. Cool seeing how you snapped that length off too. Thx.

    Thanks for the ideas used in this simple but effective bending jig. I have a few bending jobs (flat thin aluminum) that this will do the job for me. Fast to build and useful for later small jobs.

    Brilliant, the suggestions, reversing the hinge with a rabbet clearance for the hinge barrel will locate the bending axis to the edge of the hold down and adding a cam lever will facilitate the the hold down process. In addition, adding a laminated meta strip to the underside of the hold down will reinforce the brake edge.

    really useful clip. thanks!

  • @GaryParkin
    @GaryParkin 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That is cool. I think for the hold down piece, I'd have added bolts with wing nuts and washers so I wouldn't have to unscrew it all the time. I have just a few pieces to bend into a box and this jig works!!

    Having sliced my finger on sheet metal once upon a time, seeing you make the long cut and then flex the sheet with your bare hands did make me cringe a bit. But, this is still a good project.

    HA! Nifty :D
    Next instead of screws on the bar that holds the metal sheet you can add a locking bar on top of it with a hinge in one end and a lock in the other if you get tired of the screws ...

  • @saddle1940
    @saddle1940 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you put slots in the wood and use screw knobs with washersinstead of just screws, you can back the tool (bit with the bevel edge) off a bit for slightly different thickness metal

  • @matthewmarting3623
    @matthewmarting3623 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Verah nice, verah nice. I like how damn simple it is. Only thing I'd want would be cam locking levers instead of screws but that adds at least 2 hours or $20 to the build. And btw, your channel name is awesome.

    • @denniston
      @denniston 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nice build. I like it a lot. I'm curious as to what part you are making for your bee hive? With the size of the pieces you showed on the video, all I can think of is maybe some skids to rest the frames on. Am I close?

  • @cambrosn
    @cambrosn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like it, but if you flipped the hinge over and mortised out a spot for the barrel only, you could make the break much more accurate. It would almost eliminate the gap.

  • @williammanning3174
    @williammanning3174 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I guess a plywood brake will last long enough to get someone through a project or two as long as you don't need to bend any 16 gauge.
    I applaud your resourcefulness and ability to think outside the box. However, I think I will be using steel when I make my own brake.
    Great video though. I enjoyed the sound track (got it stuck in my head actually). Be well brother.

  • @philipgwyn8091

    You'd get much better bends if you recessed the hinges so the pins lined up with the edge of all 3 pieces of wood.
