Thanks for another good one, Bob. I built a wooden brake years ago (three
planks of wood and three hardware store hinges (countersunk the one in the
middle). Used it just a couple of months back, bending up the edges of a
3' long inspection panel for the belly of my airplane. Worked fine.

Before I go cobbling together some 2x4s and hingesg, will this type of
brake have enough 'authority' to bend a 3/8" flange on a 2ft piece for
..035 4130? Just in case I didn't have enough numbers, I need a 90
degree bend. Most of the applications I've seen seem to apply to aluminum.
