Build my own brake

[Jim Beam]

I went to Harbor Freight to buy a small brake today and after much diliberation decided to build my own. Does anyone want to see a worklog on this and if so where should I put it?

[lukeisthecoolest]

you could put it right in this thread ;)

wat do you mean by brake? car brake?

[Jim Beam]

no a brake to bend sheet metal accurately might go into the worklog but it's not a mod just a route to better modding. maybe in the tools section or something

Bending brake. For metal and plexi.

Put it in the tips tricks and tutorials section. I for one would like to check it out.

Sounds cool. Rename the thread though.

If I put it up in the tips and tricks area I will name it build your own brake

How about metal bending thing.

Ok, so I'm dumb and never heard of a metal brake.....

Yeah, How exactly does a Metal break work. Like Commando iv never heard of one before but sounds interesting defently post a work log

I've used several different types of brakes (two true brakes, one was a 90-degree press brake and the other was an up-to-135 degree hand brake, the others were improvised with clamps and wooden blocks and stuff ;))
Definitely interested in this.

I guess you will find out this week because I will be starting this tomorrow. this will be a small brake nothing fancy. Don't need a huge one for what I want to do with it.
