I recently put together a finger brake kit available from Swag Off Road to be able to bend metal up to 1/4" thick and 48" in width.
The structural pieces were all drop remnants from a local builder and my own junk collection.
The kit was well put together and required a few parts to be pressed into place, thanks Dad!
I was afraid two Harbor Freight Jacks wouldn’t be enough so I went with an extra jack for 60 tons of breaking force.
A quick paint job, custom safety decals, and lasered bend chart, I was ready to assemble and try a few bends.
Foot valve keeps the hands free to position work pieces, it should come in handy for building tool boxes, cabinets, and feeder bins.
Thanks for coming along!

! That will be perfect for what you're doing. Will speed up your builds! Will also allow you to do "square to rounds" on funnels. Wish I had some place to keep one 
. And plenty of heavy scrap.
