Hi all. About 5 years ago I had drawn up the plans for a tube bender. Only ended up making the stand for it and buying the air ram. Was building it to build a arms for my offroader I was building but in the end I got a shop to bend my tube.

Not sure if any one is interested but I have uploaded it anyways. Was having a clean out of my files on my drive and found them.

Was going to be like this.

You got all that way with this project and never finished it?? You have time and money in parts involved to build this thing. Projects are like dreams,,,, Don't give up!! A cheapo harbor freight bender could be had for cheap and do a decent job if done correctly.
 
I only ended up making the bottom metal stand on wheels with the ram on mine. That photo posted is of another one finished.
