Default Sheet Metal Brake in Northern California?

Check with your local community college. Most of them have metal shop
classes and all the ones I've seen can handle the 8' edge of a 4x8 sheet.

If push comes to shove and they won't let you have an hour or so on it, just
register for the class and punch out the first week of classes; you get all
your money back.

If you can't find one, I know Sierra College in Rocklin has one and I'm
faculty there.

Just make sure that you read and follow the manual on bend relief before
you put it in the brake; OTW you will have a handful of aluminum scrap.
