New year, new forum!

Hey folks, Bruce here from 4LowLife...

I was introduced to this forum via a comment on one of my YouTube videos, and glad I was! Never knew there was this world of toolmakers out there!

I’m a fabricator at heart, welder by trade, work at a boat builder, volunteer firefighter, and play with vehicle restorations when I’m not “busy”. I’m addicted to Toyota Landcruisers, and thus eventually went down a rabbit hole of a restoration that left me building some body parts from scratch. I made myself a very small bending brake, which left me wanting more!

I am currently building my 6’ 30 Ton press brake as a “let’s see how this turns out” project, and started posting videos of the progress on YouTube for those interested. Plan is to be able to make some of the parts I need to finish restoring two FJ40’s I have torn apart, as well as one FJ45 I am about to tear apart...

Here is the thread for that project...

Totally new here, so sorry if I posted that link improperly,

Hope to get some inspiration from other projects here, and maybe help inspire others!
