Thanks Mike ... I could stand a lesson on lip bending ... I'd like to see the contraption you use . In another life 20 I use to be a tin knocker working all kinds of brakes,,rollers,shears fabricating in a shop,driving the truck and installing in the field . ... we never made lips . I'm not looking to mass produce ..when I make a big Pichney danny I'd like to put a more authentic clean bent lip on there .
