[TowerTalk] Bending Aluminum

[Tom Hellem]

Hello Collective Wisdom-
I am thinking about building an H-frame hydraulic press for the purpose of
bending up some brackets out of 1/8" aluminum plate for element to boom
clamps on hf yagis.
Does anyone have an idea of the force required for doing this so I can
determine how big of a hydraulic jack to buy and how beefy I need to build
the frame?

Thanks in advance for any input.
