Good evening, everyone!
So, I've recently thought about building a smaller press for my shop. Spsificcally, I was making a rectangle from 1/8" sheet metal, 8" wide, and I thought it would be cool to be able to bend the corners on it, instead of having to cut and re-weld everything. That would've saved some time, and probably looked "cleaner" so to speak...
I know that a lot of people have a press, and I've had a number of folks over the years tell me that I could really use one...
I think it'd be a fun build!
So, I'm asking of you guys, as I consider taking this on:
1) If you do have a shop press, what do you use it for? What have you done with it, in the recent past?
2) If you've ever made one, or know someone that has, any "if I had to do it again..." tips?
Thanks guys...
