Sheet metal brakes to me, are pricy. Has anyone ever made one before? I have seen pics of them. Just want to get the inside scoop ;)
 
at least 36 inches deep

Nice to have something that I have had a need in the past, and the present.

A press is a good idea if the metal you are bending is thick. I suspect thats what the counter ballance weights are for on some of the larger models, to help put force on the lever for bending long sheets of metal.
