The second stamping die was finished today - it folds the four sides of the stamped bracket:

Yes, Chinese work boots - I know - it's been belting down with rain and my only pair of runners are soaked - I would buy new ones but there is NOTHING available here in size 11......I have given up looking.

The last die is being made now to make the final bend - the curved bend around the corner - then I can run off a batch and have them chromed.
Again a huge amount of work for what initially seems like a very simple corner bracket!
