The following description was provided: ================================================================= These pictures are of a barstock bender that I made at work to facilitate a project I was working on. I saw a similar, though smaller, bender in a tool store, and could not justify the $80 price tag. All materials were from our scrap bucket. The plate is 1/4" x 5" x ??. The pins are 1/2" stainless and are too soft, really. The radius blocks are 3" round stock with 1/2" holes drilled in the middle. I'll get around to turning a couple different radii It was welded with a TIG welder using some random bits of filler rod that fell to hand at the time. In all a pretty reasonable use of about two hours of time and some scrap.
