DIY Sheet Metal Bending Brake: No Welding
I decided to make a homemade sheet metal folder to bend thin metal for fabrication projects. It was simple and cheap to make and it was built with no welder.

(x1) 1/2″ x 3′ Steel Box
(x1) 3/4″ x 2.5″ x 6′ Dimensioned Board
(x2) Hinges
(x6) 1″ x 5/16″ Cap Screws
(x6) 5/16″ Lock Nuts
(x10) 1″ Drywall Screws
(x2) 5/16″ Wing Nuts
(x2) 5/16″ Washers
(x2) 5/16″ x 2.5″ Carriage Bolts
(x4) #10 x 1″ Flat Head Machine Screws
(x4) #10 Nuts
Wood Glue

I know I didn't demonstrate the use of this brake very much in this video. Believe me when I say I've used it plenty in my videos since then, which you should check out on my channel – the sled ones are my current favorites!
you really wanted to make this brake… 🙂
painful watching this without a grinder but credit to you for your great hacking skills and patience
wow!
Congratulations !!! YOUR VIDEO IS VERY GOOD AND WELL EXPLAINED, I AM FROM BRAZIL, CONGRATULATIONS FRIEND. HUG !
Painfull…
Good video except for drywall screws. Deckmate with a T25 is probably a much better choice.
grinding machine owners left group..:p

Oh for the love of jebus, Buy a angle grinder mate.
