    No sir I wish I did. I've got a cutting torch, couple squares, few grinders and 4 welding machines. Before I had a torch I'd bend metal by cutting the marked line 2/3 of the way through with a 6"x .040 cutoff wheel on a metabo, then open that cut up with a hard wheel on my 4.5" grinder. Put my man paws on it till I got the correct angle then stitch up the cut. It's still the easiest way I bend sheet iron with the minimal amount of metal working tools I have, and it does not warp from the heat of the rosebud head on my torch. I've bent 3/16" down to 14ga by hand that way and it leaves the pretty broke edge on the face.

          Love it! Post step-by-step pics the next time you bend something. I was going to ask if you had a brake also....very nice work.

              Looks great! Just seeing this. I need to raise/box in the lights on my Big Tex. I get why they leave them exposed on the bottom, but muy malo if you have to drive through the pasture.

                        This is awesome, really good work. Keep that sucker stored indoors and anchored to the ground when not in use.

                            Nice job. I did the same thing when I made the bends for my top on my SXS. Just takes time.
