This photo isn’t new to SNIPS magazine, but it deserves a revisit. Precision Sheet Metal Co. of Scott Township, Pennsylvania, sent in these photos of a vintage wooden sheet metal brake the company repaired and restored for display in its offices. It was built by the Double Truss Cornice Brake Co. in Buffalo, New York.

Before restoration.

After removing the paint and restoring the wood, the brake shines.
