DIY Metal Brake / Bender

I've been wanting to build this for some time now. works great! I will make a finger brake attachment soon. Please like and subscribe. I built this for just under 30 bucks and I use it all the time! I saved a ton of money over buying the SWAG Offroad metal brake. Please see original video for a more detailed build process.

What is drop Steel? Go to your local Fab shop and they will have a pile of "drop" which are cut off pieces from their projects. Because they are cut remnants, they will sell them to you for a fraction of the cost. In some cases they will just give you the smaller pieces. I buy all my steel from the drop pile. NOTE they will charge you for each cut so just buy it big and cut it down at home.
