[gingery_machines] Gingery Brake- anybody make one? ( and roller?)

 

Greetings-

I have not yet got back to the shaper since I am trying to get CNC router up and running to make patterns and it is stalled while looking to build a working computer for free...

but I did get a mig welder and am fxin to rebuild my truck cab mounts and rusted out floor boards. I want to use scrap sheet metal left over pieces (read that as "Free" material") and then use a brake to bend them then mig weld the new parts onto the old parts.

So I wondered if anybody has had success with homemade brakes- maybe a gingery model or any cheap and easy to build maybe just make cheap easy finger brake would be good enough for small volume material forming.. I also have some pipe that may make a nice metal roller to roll curved pieces of metal. this reminds me I have a punch press I need to get running and tyr to make a power shear out of it...

so many projects.. so little time...

Please report how you like your brake and if you have any pics posted on it.

Regards
Bradley
