Built a metal brake

[fatjay]

My father was after something to bend license plates at a 90 degree for roves of birdhouses while he's cooped up. He was trying to make something out of wood, but I said I'll put something together for him. This is what I ended up with. Close the top piece and put a pair of vice grips. Eventually I'm going to drill a hole, weld a bolt coming up, and have a wing nut to tighten it down.

Simple, yet effective. My favorite kind of design. Nice work!

Update: He's folded a dozen license plates and is now looking for other things to fold. Any suggestions?
