Rorty does some bender plans on his site I think, don't know what type of bender it is.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My budget is very limited and I don't want to pay a 1000$+shipping + local taxes for it if i can build it. Now i realize that i need to purchase the dies for the tube bender on the like i posted before.
I like the Rorty plans for the bender becose all the parts can be made for a resonable price but he only accepts PayPal payments and I can't make an account on PayPal becouse my county (Croatia) is NOT on the list
Any other good plans for building a tube bender?

I allready knew about the Blind Chicken bender but I needed something more simple to construct and Rortys plans are very detailed and selfexplantory even for a begginer metalworker like me
