That is terrific. I love his bending jig. When I get around to bending the sides I may just try to make that as I think I have all of those parts lying around.

My dad is a machinist, so technically he is the one who has this stuff "lying around." #

If the shop near you is anything like my Dad's shop, there is plenty lying around. Good luck with that. If I get around to assembling this contraption in the near future I will keep you posted on how it works.
