Another Bending Brake

[Arbo]

Here are some pics of a different bending brake that I made about a year ago. It is strictly for light duty use. I made it to bend aluminum flashing for around windfows and doors on the house.

This pic is from the other side. The bending leaf is propped up with a paint can. It bends a length about 46" and the throat can handle about 3" of depth.

Cool, Arbo...is that your junk yard dog whose feet I see??

That brake looks like it can handle more than just aluminum flashing. Clamping depth is less than comercial flashing brake but your way is easy way to clamp flashing.
Another great design.
