What are you having issues with?

Well, I built a jig and things just arent applying pressure to bend it correctly so i could use help getting pressure in the middle through a press or something. I think its .05 inches thick

Can you take photos of your bending setup?

If you have the clearance, a small hard wood block and a large "C" clamp might be just the ticket, OR, if you have a big enough vice, turn it on it's side and clamp in the middle using hard wood blocks!

A c clamp wont exert enough pressure ro force the metal and I dont have any vices. I can still send ya pics if ya want.
