Good morning! :-)

Upon request of some gents here, I have made photos of my shop press and
press brake.
The press has 10 tons, and used an old cylinder I loooong ago used for
body work.
I have built this press some years ago, when I found a really
interesting concept of bending sheet metal. It replaces the vee die with
a polyurethane bar. This solution is very interesting for fine work,
because it doesn't scratch the work and is simpler than making your own
vee die and hardening it.

You find a description here:

If you have questions, feel free to ask. I'll have a beer now, because
pubs don't close at 11 here. :-P
