Braking 18 gauge stainless

[shawk]

I now may not have access to the brake I was planning on using to shape my pan. Anyone have a good idea for shaping a pan without one.

What size piece do you need to bend? As the saying goes, size does matter!

One side is 2' the other is 4'. I am thinking will need to find a fabrication shop to brake it for me, but figured I would ask if someone had come up with some homemade method that worked.
