I want to build the bender. He can't copy right a design that everyone uses. If you feel like PM'ing me the plans I would appreciate it. I understand if you wont because you paid for them....

quick breakdown of pricing for the bender:

Metal: $100.00
Die: $185.00
ram: $90 (harbor freight)
hardened shafts: $15
various bolts ect...: $15.00

I spent a little more than that because I bought drill bits and such, but still a good deal.

cool project, but damn, for the time and money you spent on the bender, why not just get this one?

Are you gonna stick with the stock engine or go with something newer? Looks pretty sweet so far. Keep us updated on everything.
