How can you go about shaping metal with hand tools alone.
The space between the final set of rollers determines the final metal thickness.
Take care to keep your bend line even with the guide angle of your forms.
Now that your forms are placed you should clamp your sheet between your form blocks very firmly.
Clamp your sheet metal in your vise.
