Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any good "home brew" solutions for bending sheet metal without buying an expensive brake... especially for dealing with long pieces for wings and fuselages.

I would like to come up with some inexpensive design that can be built with simple materials, and later dismantled when no longer needed. I thought I would ask the experts first since many of you have done this before.

Also what about cutting? What do you find to be the best way to make long STRAIGHT cuts (straight being the key word there)?

Thanks!
