Need to make a couple 90 degree bends in 1/4" x 1 1/2" flat bar. Any one have a press who is close to I17 and the 101, else I'll take it to one of the local steel shops.

If you have a torch, vice and a hammer you can bend it yourself. Put the material in a vice heat the area just above the vice jaws until red hot then gently persuade the steel to bend with the hammer.

I use a harbor freight bender for material up to 1 1/2" but for larger stuff I put this together for my press. It does up to 18" metal. Handy for making brackets and other items. If you happen to have some heavy angle iron around this works very well.

especially if the stamping is for an item that starts with AK and ends in 47. Kind of where I got the idea from when I used to stamp the flats.

Thanks guys, yeah I don't have a hot enough torch or press. 6x6pinz, that is definitely a nice setup.
