Here is a link to an article that I found kind of interesting and terrifying all at the same time.

Food for thought

Thanks

Any word about Gary yet, anyone

I know this thread is getting kinda old but if this helps http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/ I have done biz with these guys before and they carry pretty much everything you may need for such a project.

I've now almost got a bender, I finally hooked up with some one who could turn that big hunk of steel so it was round and had a groove in the edge. I already had the drive pin holes marked and center punched and the lines to cut the big wedge shape out of it, so when I got it back form the guy with ...

Time for an update, progress has been slow because I can't do a whole lot at once since I got crashed into last winter. Anyway here's where I'm at so far. This is the mistake I made that I mentioned earlier http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag302/drivermark/th_004_zpsxvfcmqdj.jpg The only hole tha...

A bit of an update, first of all I really suck at documenting stuff so there's that. As far as the wooden die body idea, every time I tried machining that on my wood lathe my lathe gouges would snag up on the end grain and would pretty much just disintegrate the piece I was working on, so I contacte...

Not sure exactly what I did wrong but it seems that only about 1/2 of each pc is showing.

Seems to be the trend that the newbies here build a bender, so here is my attempt so far. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag302/drivermark/BENDER%20BUILD%20001_zps3ak1x98f.jpg Was able to score 1/2"x2" material at the local scrap yard for $.50lb so I picked up enough for a couple of be...

Very,very nice,good to see her finished and on the road.
Ride safe and keep the pretty side up.

Hey, relatively new guy here. First of all I'd like to say, I've read through your build threads and you do awesome work. I especially like your Fractured Lacerations build, Making your own I beam frame that was just excellent! And with this build, the lace paint job and the engraving on the motor, ...

Hello Everyone, I'm a new member of the board here and I have been reading a lot of the topics and posts trying to learn as much as I can and have run across a lot of references to the "old board" and website and thought that I would throw this out for anyone that was unaware of it. Google...

Hello, Let me start by saying I'm a newbie here and yes, I know this thread is a couple years old, but I really like the design of this bender (I'm assuming it is a JD2 clone) and I was wondering where on the main site (as indicated in the opening post) it was located. I found the plans for the CBH ...
