Look no further, this sheet metal bender is the most complete and the easiest to make at home, I explain step by step its construction, measurements and materials, and if that wasn’t enough I upload them to my blog so you can make this practical and useful tool needed in every workshop or garage for those weekend jobs.
Have fun while you build it without spending money, because the materials used to make this tool are second hand rescued from a local junkyard.
