my new alluminum armor.

here it is , strait off the ban saw . now i gotta figure out how to bend it to shape . any hints ?

hammer and an anvil - key is to not just bang it over a 90 degree angle

Hold it up to your chest and give someone a hammer. Let them bang it into shape...

Seriously, couldn't an English Wheel work? I see them on those custom chopper shows. Lets you give a nice shape to metal. Just call up Jesse James.

Pretty sweet man. You may want to talk to MMM, ie. Megalomaniachalmandalore. He really knows how to shape metal. If I'm not mistaken, he uses a hammer and shapes it as HS suggests, but I'm not shure exactly how he does it. can't wait to see it shaped!

Band saw, circular saw (carbide tip blade), or jig saw.

Keep in mind that it will be slow going as compared to wood. Al heats up and then starts binding and sticking. Cut a little then let it cool, etc.
