Today I'm making a large DIY Sheet Metal Brake for the purpose of bending aluminum sheets for the Truck Camper Project.... although I'm quite sure I'll end up using it for all sorts of future projects! In the video I'll show my process of taking an old (and free) I-beam and design a bending mechanism around it. And in turn, this 'little' side project will help me to get back on track to bring you the next part of the Truck Camper Project!

Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions you might have!
