fouind this dont no if its been posted before.

Not sure if that's a smart new business model or just plain stupid.

Not many companies would publish proprietary manufacturing drawings.

I have always wondered about this but I think their plan is that most people won't go to the trouble of manufacturing their own dies and formers. I priced up the entire build in raw materials from their drawing and still decided to buy their bender too much hassle.

I'd guess the thinking is the kind of person who has the equipment and inclination to make it up from the drawings either has one already or would design their own anyway.

Their plan is to sell you dies to suit it a $200 a throw. You can find similar designs on the internet like on Blind Chicken site.

So in fact it is a good business move......lure you in by giving you the easy parts to make and then help you out by supplying the hard stuff...I like it.

And when you speak to them, they are really nice to deal with, not bothered at all that it doesn't end in a sale right away...

check out these plans lol
