Safety should be a priority, and everyone in the vicinity of your activitya must wear gloves (to keep the hand safe from wood splinters) and goggles to protect their eyes. The metal is also sharp, so use with care; the last thing you want are cuts. It is also a good idea to secure sheet metal with clamps or other opposing media while you are in the process of bending.
