Go to Post In real life, I use almost nothing I learned from football except that with a bit of hard work you can get somewhere. Oh, and I have bad knees on top of that. I could have (and wished I would have) learned that from a FIRST FRC team instead. - JesseK [more]

I was thinking about this for a while, but I am not familiar with capabilities of sheetmetal manufacturing.

Could you, or anyone else, elaborate on what types of places flanges can be made on a part like this? I wanted to add flanges on some of the inside pockets but wasn't sure if that was easily possible. Like I said, I'm looking to learn about this as much as possible.

Thanks.
