I stumbled on a new search engine tool. If you look up google magazines, it will let you search up articles on different subjects in magazines.

I found Popular Mechanics with a bunch of old do it yourself type plans. I looked up something to bend sheet metal and found plans to make a brake out of wood.

Might find some useful or inspiring ideas in this area.

I actually have that issue of Popular Mechanics...

Some of those schematics in old Pop Mechx are very scary to think about these days...
I lusted over them all as a kid!

I just read the article on making the bending brake. It gives me an idea for making different pressure plates for getting those pesky litle third bends in block shells. Thanks!
