Daddyl,

I have two dumb questions:

Where do you buy metal plating (and what do you buy?)
How do you cut/bend it?

I used a sheet metal bender back in eighth grade metal shop a lifetime ago, but it was a huge shop machine. I'm pretty familiar with most woodworking tools/techniques, but my metal experience is limited to cutting a threshold with a Sawzall and cutting bolts and stuff with a hacksaw. I think I can also drill holes okay.
