Great job. Good tip for sheet metal is to drill a hole in the corners as a stress relief and end point for the bends

They are a very useful tool but like all cheap tools some fettling will improve them - first is to change the washers on the cutting blade bolts for something more substantial . I hade to machine the folder fingers so they were all the same length as well .

These little machines are great value for the price, Well i got a Clarke from MachineMart for £340 and as yo say these all tend to come from the same factory just with different colours and names for the Client The first thing i did was make a bigger side Stop as that small thing is 100% useless second thing i did was squared up the bed to the cut as it was out of alignment, one thing i will say, Don't try to cut 1mm Mild steel it will dull your cutting edge, I did just after one test, and so i had to surface grind it good again and heat treated. and by the way im for ever tidying my drawers up as its an on going battle :) Tips, when forming use your square at the side of the work to the edge of the blade, this help make sure the material is nice and square also when you mark your fold lines, take a quarter of the thickness of the material, so lets say a 20mm bend using 1mm, Then put a bend line 19.7 or 2 Quarters of the thickness of the material depending on the Tool V Gap the. Their is a formular but im not going to bore you with that as this simple way for thin material is good enough also put a relief cut into your fold corners about 0.5mm for 1mm material, this gives a relief to the corner when the material stretches and prevents cracking and bulging/deforming extra anyway all this will tighten up your corners to almost a zero gap hope this information helps

Your welcome And to say I use massive machines at work and form /bend up to 25mm The only thing I'm not good at is giving precise info via messages So hope what I have said that one can understand lol Another tip I can say it .use a scriber instead of a thick marker And when scribed /marked out .is use some french chalk and rub against your scribe line to get better visibility of the markings or use a blue dye and then scribe over It helps to see the scribe lines

The safe edges you refer to are often called 'hems' I'd make all the hems first. Then fold up the sides. To flatten the hems use a block of wood, maybe 1" by 2" by 6" Hit the cut edges of the hem, not the folded over part. You want a 'smooth, rounded edge, not a sharp one. Great little tool - you'll soon be making the wife a custom spice rack 😆

@@joneseymakes - I think you’d already mentioned the mods that I’d want to make in your video - Lengthening the guide to square metal up to the blade more effectively, and I thought that if you could somehow get better clearance when the press is opened, that would be much less frustrating to use. Looks like a great piece of kit in any case, I imagine that you’ll be able to make loads of stuff with it!

I spent the whole video yelling at the screen; "USE THE VICE! USE THE VICE!" Another tip it to drill a small hole like 4mm at the corner cusps before cutting with the tinsnips or bending. These will be the bottom 4 corners of the finished tray. The hole make the bending easier and neater and reduces tearing metal stresses etc.

Haha! I got there in the end. Thanks for the tip, I actually just bought a punch to do exactly that with the corners.

@@joneseymakes ... punch might do it on the real thin stuff, but the drill is probably better for stress relieving. Anyway I look forward to seeing more successes! I'm almost convinced to buy one of these, I have a few projects coming up where it might earn it's keep. 👍

Hi Nick, I know, I'm months behind! One idea might be to make some more fingers - of different widths. Narrower ones might allow you to fold things like tabs on a different line to the main side for example.
