Building the Po' Boy Bending Brake

Why not visit your local scrap yard & pick up a couple of
large-dimension steel angles in the length you need. At under 20 cents a
pound, you probably won't spend much more money & the strength would be
a lot higher.

Dear Charlie (and the Group),

In fact, most guys probably do, as I alluded to in the original article. Of
course, this assumes they can weld (and cut) steel, have access to suitable
hinge(s) and so forth.

The result is a more or less permanent part of your shop. Which can get a bit
silly if you're only building one airplane and only need to brake a couple of
bends.
