Bender....

Been busy with other stuff but I have been out and bought a pipe bender to experiment with.

I need this to fabricate a subframe for my seat unit.

Here's the bender held in my vice



And here is a shot of a test bend (20mm diameter and 1.2mm wall).



There's a fair degree of pinching but it will what I want but I wouldn't try to use it for anything heavier.
