Technically no....But if a determined person with a good plan got his hands on it sure. The main problem with that machine, is that it is not a "box and pan" style. What that means is, if you had a square work piece, that little machine could only bend two opposite sides. which makes it really tough to make a lid. A box and pan style could bend all four sides. In all reality though, that machine is good for bending tin flashing at best.

I see now that there is a lot of interest in this box, The economy of scale could be there for a run of these. Sadly though, as stated earlier, I am a man that can build pretty much anything,except for enough time in the day. Just the logistics of figuring out how to make "one fit all" would consume many hours.

If i was only closer to retirement, I would be all over this for you guys
