Press Brake

Needed to bend some 1/8" steel for a cue rack that I am replicating and couldn't believe the price they get for a press brake.  I decided that I would make one.  Pretty simple design and works well.  Cost about $20 and a couple of hours to make.
Makes a pretty nice 90 degree bend in 1/8" steel.  I haven't pushed it to the limit yet but I think it can do a little more.
