By an amazing coincidence, I was just reading this and thinking about finger/box mini-folder ideas.

By an amazing coincidence, I was just reading this and thinking about finger/box mini-folder ideas.

The ones I have are by far and away the best I have used, but they are a little short (6in) for 7mm or 1/32 but im not sure if they would work so well if they were say 10 inches long, I suspect that something fixed to a board with a lever - more like an industrial metal bender - might be better for a longer design.

I have a 1ft. and a 10ft. box/finger folder........both are way-too large to do anything remotely modellish!
I`ll have 'thunk' and see if I can come up with something uber-precise and appropriately scaled.

......everything is too-big here at Collie Towers (even me!) .......this is the smaller shear-brake:

I had been thinking on how to align the two parts easily and this site has the answer. I've got a load of very good steel angle which I've been storing under the workbench for years - just in case - and this might have triggered a project for it. Maybe I need a welder.
