    So a while back I was thinking about picking up one of those little $30 sheet metal brakes, but upon playing with one at Grizzley, I decided it was way to dinky to do what I wanted it to do. So, 10 hours and $50 later (not including the new wire feed welder me and my dad picked up, which we didn't really need, but you know how it goes with tools :D ) we got this:

    It's got 30 inches of workspace, and the brake surface can be removed and replaced with a rounded edge for quater round brakes (pictured), a hard edge for perfect 90's, and smaller pieces that will allow us to brake a piece of metal with tabs along the edge.

    Anywho, just thought I'd share. :)

    EDIT: And just to clarify, YES, my dad and I built it from scratch
