This weekend I drove down to my dad's shop and had him help me build a wood bending iron. They want over $200 for one online, so I decided to build one myself. The great thing about a metal shop there is always scrap laying around. We cut a piece of 2" X 12" 1/4" stainless pipe and another sorter piece that is 1"x 5"x 3/16". We had to drive to my cousins since his my dads welding table was covered in ice. Thanks Chuck for the help. We welded both pipes together then welded that to a chink of stainless plate with a 90 degree lip on one side. The lip will work well for clamping the iron in a vise. I will add a few more pics later.
I also built a kerfing jig to fit my band saw.
