You can try, but it may not go well!

- Metal can snap while bending, and flakes of rust, mill scale, or paint can become airborne. Eye protection required.
- Pinched fingers, skin.
- Cuts / Scrapes from sharp cut edges of the workpiece.
- Cuts / Scrapes / bruises if care is not taken to prevent metal stock from slipping during the bending process.

Operation Notes
- The Metal Shop has a collection of shop-made jigs, many inspired by YouTube videos.
- In general, watch the jig. If you see that the jig is bending (as opposed to your material bending), you’ve exceeded the jig’s capacity.
- If your material is the same size or thicker than the material used to make the jig, you run the risk of bending the jig instead of your material.
