Just google 4x6 bandsaw and you will fond tons of littl emods you can do to it. There is even a yahoo group for them. lol

Also tube and pipe are different when it comes to the dies needed to bend it. The harbor frieght pipe crusher will do nothing but smash pipe. It can be done but it requires packing the pipe with sand and welding ends on it. And then you are still stuck with just doing pipe, since if the die isn't a perfect fit you will get kinks.

I have this. pipe and tube bender and it works great, about the cheapest thing you can get that will do a decent job.
