I"m so happy to be useful again

[Baldrocker]

I started life as a brick cutter but after many years of faithful service
I was sent to the scrappy just because my ram was broke.
then I was rescued and given a new life as a press all it needed was a bottom plate
and some odd bits of scrap. But best of all look how I can bend steel with just an old
vee block and chisel point. So happy to be of use again.

My friend BR has told my story.

Its nice to see that you have such a good friend as BR and that he has made you feel useful again.

Cheers

I think my files may be too big

Always nice to figure out a new way of using stuff. Looks like it works well for the job at hand.

Make sure that Vee block is a steel one and not a cast iron one.

Don't ask

A timely reminder  of the properties of cast iron, but the one shown is steel,
someone allowed the rust monster too much time alone with it, hence its
rescue from the scrappies (is that a word) yard.

I never thought of using a v-block as a bending brake.  Great tip.

Nice bit of Madmodding BR 

I knocked up a ruff and ready  bending tool for the press from three bits of angle and a lump of plate for the Vee  ,, bends 1/2 plate ok
