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.

Great site.
btw, buckley. where does one get a 3" tube of aluminum with a 3/16th wall??
if you can answer that the bending iron is something I may try also. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

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. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif 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.
