A Good 4th of July

Today I got some stuff to run new lights in the garage, and I also stopped by Harbor Freight and picked up the 30" bending brake and some clamps. I spent the rest of the afternoon wiring up the lights, and realized that I will need a few more. At least now I have a well lit workbench.

I needed to finish my form backing block so I cut that out with my jig saw and sanded it down. I have had really good luck with my Harbor freight belt sander so far. Once I had it sanded down I clamped the two together and started drilling my jig pin holes. That is as far as I made it today.
