[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 90499, member: 55"] If you are using .063 or something in that range, you can bend it fairly well. Line up your bend line with the edge of a sturdy table (preferably steel), and clamp a piece of steel over the top with a pair of sturdy C-clamps. Now, work back and forth with a large rubber mallet, and bend it a little at a time. There is a bunch of .063 aluminum over at the local scrapyard right now, and the current price is $1 a pound. I have got a metal bandsaw, so if you want to swing down here one day, you can use the bandsaw to make your cuts, if you have all the sheet pieces in mind. [/QUOTE]
