    The New Guy

    Looking for some plans for a sheet metal brake 24" to 30" that doesn't require welding. possibly using aluminum for lifting bar that's thick enough to act as the hinge. Doesn't seem like that's to far off for just thin metal, might see what I can design. Thanks

    Hi kylemont,

    Welcome!

    If you post a note in our Tools In Progress subforum, you're likely to receive some useful suggestions.

    What are you planning to do first with the new brake?

    Hi kylemont - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    It gets even simpler than no-welding if you're interested. Here's a wooden one for lightweight bending: Homemade Wooden Sheet Metal Brake
