Yeah, My wife's been bugging me that this little project has taken almost 3 years now :)
But hey, that's when you know you've got a +good+ hobby!

Hey, you said you're on the 7 year plan.

Almost halfway there!
And dang, you pay way too much attention :D

My brain is a steel trap for useless information. It's a curse. :lol
Benevolance:
I went and checked out some break machines. Crap, those are expensive! But it gave me an idea of how it functions.
Did you cut the for the sides to size prior to using the break jig to bend the metal, or did you bend the metal sheets first, and then cut? I'm trying to visualize the process. It seems to me easier to do the former, but I could see where the jig might not be accurate enough, and the bends end up uneven across several pieces, so wanting to cut after would be desireable.
drventure:
I cut everything first. Otherwise, I'd have been handling an 8' sheet of copper!
Sorry I didn't take any pics of the jig I fashioned. But it was basically clamping down the metal with bar clamps and wood blocks in such a way that I had a wood block underneath it that would put the bend in it. Getting the initial bend started was the tough part, once it started to bend, it was pretty easy.
