[TheForge] Speaking of sheet metal...

I need to bend some sheet metal myself, but not only do I not have a
brake, I wouldn't know how to use one if I did ;-)

What I need to do is to bend the bottom of a box out of sheet. Was
thinking of cutting out the corners (except for tabs to lightly hold
the thing together at the corners) then clamping the metal between a
couple of heavy metal bars, then hammering away. Need a fairly crisp
bend, about 90 degrees. Will this work? Anybody have any other ideas?

Has anyone seen my temper?
