Forming edge on brass piece
Hi everyone,
I'm new to metal work (please excuse if this is a very stupid question) and would like to try and replicate a custom part something like the image attached. I understand this piece was constructed with one piece of metal and folded over.
The bit i'm unsure about is how they got the edges on the piece. If you look at the photo you can see the edges are bent at around 30 degrees. Both the vertical and horizontal edges are bend with a nice crease appearing at 45 degrees.
Can someone please tell me how this is done? Would this be pressed using heavy machinery? Unfortunately the tools i have at my disposal are limited. Although if there are some cheap specialised tools for achieving this i would be willing to purchase. So here are my questions:
1. How was this done on the piece within the photo?
2. Am i able to replicate this without expensive equipment? and would the results be similar?
3. How much experience would it take to do this?
Thanks
