You can try, but it may not go well!

Shop-made bending tool collection |
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.
Use of the vise to hold a bending tool |

Multipurpose bending tool |
The shop has a lighter duty version of this with a base that fits into the holes of the Acorn Tables.
- This Jig can also be placed in a vise. (See above)
- Free free to construct additional accessories for this jig.
