Air powered bottle jack and a wixie angle finder is the way to go.
Still slower than a real press brake.

Easyscriber was the best $100 I’ve spent lol, I do a ton of license plate engraving and getting into glass etching now
Ive also got a swag offroad finger press brake thats awesome. Been debating a concrete mixer to help knock the slag off smaller parts, and eventually want to get a nice fixture table for fabricating

The licence plate engraving sounds neat. Do you have a thread with any pictures? I have an easyscriber but haven’t used it much yet.
Those are really neat, do you have a jig to line it up or do you do it by eye?
Is that steel or aluminum?
Aluminum, i have a sheet of .250" i drilled and tapped holes to mount the plates, square the sheet up with the table and set my work zero to the lower lh corner of the plate, when i set it up in fusion i put the logo in a 12x6 rectangle and have my x/y axis lead point on the lower lh corner for reference

Agree on the magnetic vise, makes cleaning steel parts a breeze. Also a good set of step bits, work great for opening up plasma cut holes and making a truly round hole.
If you have a SWAG brake with an 20t jack and want to make repeatable bend angles, I came up with an easy and accurate fix for that.

Nice to see you back here! I need to buy one of your 4Runner body mount relocate kits. Been sitting on a half finished chop for too long.

Interesting. I’ve only really heard of DRT making relocation body mounts for Yota’s

I rarely ever come on here anymore, or any forum really. I resend memes on IG messages, check my email and say happy birthdays on spacebook. I do need to designate more social media time.
Have relocation kits ready to ship!

Handful of offerings, I usually sell 1-3 or so kits a week.

Do you cut the plates out then paint them and then scribe them? I have a lic plate template and have done cutout plates for my C10 club.
No i get blanks already cut and painted off Amazon for about $2/plate. Seems to hold up well, very nice coating and scribes well
