| Does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to make simple bends with a metal folder (brake). I'm considering whether to rent/buy a folder (Tapco or similar) to bend the trim for my house project. I would like to see how difficult this might be before I commit myself. (Simple bends for sofit and facia are the primary needs.) Thanks. |

| I have the book below. You can get it from Lindsay Books for $8.95. It is about making your own sheet metal brake. Probably has info in it about using it. My copy is in storage or I would look for you. Pooh Bear |

| Your local rental store should have instructions and/or video tapes of the brake they rent. We rent Tapcos and we have videos available. |
