Howdy.
Disclaimer: I am not looking to spend a lot of money, don't want to use a small torch, and simply build mandolins for fun in my garage. Not looking to spend a lot of money.
For bending instrument sides I currently use a rig that I built with a long piece of pipe (for fencing) with a heat gun from harbor freight attached. It works alright, although it is a little makeshift. I have been looking at wood bending irons online, and cannot currently justify spending 230 on one from Stew Mac. So...I have had my eye on the cheap bending irons on ebay that come straight from china and look like they were stripped from the delorean in 'Back to the Future.' I can get one for ~100 dollars. I know one typically gets what they pay for, but has anyone have any experience with these wood benders? Good or bad?
Thanks!
