How To Make a DIY Sheet Metal Brake *CHEAP*

Need to bend sheet metal? Making one yourself is cheap & easy
Next episode we are tackling a new project that requires a metal brake, off the shelf machines are pricey and seem a little on the flimsy side, easier to make your own to suit!

HOORAH!!! This is the first video I've seen that shows the clamp needs to be adjustable for the thickness of the metal being bent!!!! I discovered the necessity when making one using many other videos that didn't!

[MrTackleberry]

Ooooo.... A steel man AND a cruiser head! Outstanding!

[codyrayner]

Never seen a shed built angle grinder mill. That’s awesome

[Stoneman]

Watched quite a few of metal brake build videos now and I reckon this one is about as clean and robust as I've seen. Bloody marvellous bit of work.

[DesignedandBuilt]

This is awesome, probably going to copy it! I need one so bad. Killer video.

[andrewt]

Thanks mate. Best metal brake build I’ve seen. I’m doing this on the weekend👍🍻

[mathewjon]

Mate that looks awsome!
Excellent work

[markthespark]

That’s awesome. I need a new shed first!

[alibi]

Im definitely subscribing to you now. That shed built milling machine idea was pure genius and exactly what I was looking for

[bobrossi]

nice build absolutely love your milling machine i will steal this. thanks for idea

[murrayco]

Your sir, are a wizard.
I'm surprised you don't have more views/likes/subscribers.
These are top quality videos.
Keep up the good work

[sebsshed]

Great video mate. Looking for inspiration for mine and stumbled on your channel.
Keep it up.

Made one very similar but to stop the flex I used a second piece of angle to form a T.. will have to borrow the shop built milling machine idea that is genius

[MrEndzo]

I like voice over more than talking head.

[georgespangler]

2 design problems truss is to high will deflect and your clamp downes being offset will give best to just drill through angle iron top and clamp there.

[hugobenness]

dude where are you? youtube sucks without you. why can’t we go back to what we used to be

[jonathansimmonds]

Just a thought, rather than welding on 2 (4) halves of a washer because you ran out of thread, wouldn't it have been neater/quicker to run the threads down the bolt a little...?

[sethjones]

Great video! Going to copy this for my shop. Do you have a link to the milling machine video? I can’t seem to find it but dang if I don’t need that one too!

[georgespangler]

Belt sander set on 45 degrees gives better edge then grinder

[conormurphy]

what do you work as and keep pumping out the video's
