[sdiy] Pan and Box Brake

[patchell]

    Finally got to use the Pan and Box Brake I <cough-cough> aquired
when the place I used to work at shut down...I haven't actually used one
since metal shop class in high school (1970!).  Fortunately, I had a
sheet of aluminum about the right size, except it was clear anodized.
The job would have been easier if I had a corner notcher, but a hack saw
substituted quite nicely (the snips I have tend to make the metal
curl).  I really have to save my pennies and dimes so I can get a foot
shear and corner notcher...

    I will try and post pictures soon...I have a lot I want to take
pictures of, but my scanner is down anyway until the new device driver
arrives for windows XP...
