Oh, and be careful bending metal on a vice. If you form a sharp corner, you will be losing a significant amount of strength.

So I take two pieces bent toward each other to make a tent type shape... Yeah you always protect whatever you stick in a vice! I use scrap Balsa wood (1/4") as a buffer of choice!
