    So I started out looking for information on welding cart ideas.... Stumbled on this simple metal bender and WHOA.. found this super informational thread on sheet metal.

    This is an excellent source of making panels, bending sheet metal and how break the panel down into individual bends, it is quite easy to create some fairly complex parts with just basic tools

    I hope that this provides inspiration to take on your projects.
