Well gang, I had a project that required special tooling to complete it. I am restoring a gas pump and the computer face plates required a 45 degree bend inside of a rectangular cut out. The face plates are reproductions that weren't finished properly. My standard box brake was not up to the task and so made a custom 12 inch brake that can accommodate special tooling for special bends. Here is what I came up with.

Looks like those face plates appreciate all your effort on their part. I'm sure now that you have it, you'll find more uses for it. Mike
 
Great Job!
Thanks for sharing it.

Hi, I found your brake while looking through old posts and your work is beautiful. Very nicely done.
 
Wow, that's fantastic work!
 
Kudos to you! That's really going the extra mile for a detail. Though I'm sure you'll find other uses for this.

Charles, I have not read Randy M's post for at least 3 years, thank you for reviving this old thread, I know a few of us are still wondering whatever happened to Randy, I hope he reads your post and comes back to say he's alright.

Ken,
I popped in ya today. I have been having fun playing in my retirement. Maybe I'll have to log in the site more often again. I have found I spend more time in the shop than on the computer now.
