benting modder mesh??

[s002wjh]

how do i bent these modder mesh? i don't have access to any fancy machine tool. the only thing i got is hammer, and screw driver. so is there easy way to bent the mesh uniformly with my existing tool?

also where can i buy those rubber strip that cover the edge of mesh?

Search the flea markets for a manual press break. If you don't find one you can make an excellent bending jig from 2 pieces of angle iron, 2 steel C-clamps and a hardwood block. A bench vise is really helpful because it will allow you to stabilize the jig and make your work a lot easier.

Modders mesh is pretty easy to bend. lay it on a table with the part you want to bend hanging off the edge then lay a board on top with the edge of board on the bend line also. clamp it if possible or even just have a friend hold it while you take a putty knive(wider is better) and hammer and work it down over the table edge

This is how I bent the Modders Mesh. I was very pleased with the result.

Once I had it clamped in, I used a regular hammer to get the edge to look sharp.

The wood was hard oak that was really cheap at home depot.

Tin snips most likely.
