if anybody wants to copy a very popular bender design... take a look here (http://www.msnusers.com/benderpics/shoebox.msnw?Page=1) the numbers are kinda hard to read... the arrows describe the distances "up" "in" "down" etc.... the rest is "eye ball" worthy.

this cost about $25 in steel and i cheated and used a punch press instead of drilling all 3,000,000,000 holes. i will add "assembly" pics to the page as soon as im sure the person that needed the plans doesnt need any more measurments. once you see it assembled it will make a lot more sense.

you still need to buy the "dies" for it.... which are readily available (jd2 dies work perfect :_paranoid )

this is one of those deals for guys with more time than money.... as you can pick these up for about $300.... dies run another $300
