You mean for  bending strap iron?  Id so, I didn't know they
made a  special brake for that.  SHould be easy enough to
cobble  up, especially if you can have castings done.


Yes, strap iron...like off-set strap hinges, etc. But how do I cobble it  up? 
 I have seen old bench mounted strap iron brakes in blacksmith shops  but 
never seen one to buy.
