I prefer to be called farm 🚜 boy 👦.....
In the past some have called me Mac Gyver.
I broke the pry brace by adding extra leverage after the second bend on the tube bender, a no no. Vevor wants a screen shot of proof of purchase from Amazon and I haven't figured out how to do that on my cellphone. Don't want to send the bender back just want a replacement part. Not letting it ruin my day. I made my own and it worked just fine. I got everything done I wanted. Going to make another and better brace when I have time. Stay tuned more to come. On saving my self some $$$ This bender could be your for the price of a bottle of Jack Daniel's

Sorry for the slow pace.....
But I am a working disability, that has to work sitting down. Wondering how I will feather 🪶 after being cut off from medi-Cal. Feeling like a shot dove 🕊 I'm going to lock my wings 🪽 and ride this one out for what's it's worth. Stay tuned 😔 🕶 😎

Gunmetal gray matte.....
From Wal-Mart
Clear coat acrylic automotive From Harbor freight. The v holds your saddle bags off the exhaust I wouldn't be afraid to try 1/2in stainless with this bender But you would be putting it to the max

It's pays to have an old scaffold frame
Laying round for scrap metal, if nothing else.
Stay tuned more to come.

Can you spot the scaffold leg used....
Done but not mounted. Fit like a glove.
Plenty of clearance for the headlight

10th
I'll be up there on the 10th.
The nights looks cold and it looks like you might get some moisture and really strong winds Saturday late in the afternoon. Did you take the canoe up there?
