Lots of things were in my list of to do's this day. But I ended up doing what wasn't in it. For starters, I ended up scoring the needed metal for the screwed up die, and the much begotten notcher. I had a blast watching the process though. And I finally found the schedule 40 I was looking for. Still I am in a fit whether to use 40 or 80. I'd have to take into consideration a solid frame against a heavy frame with this.After heaving everything in the van, its off to the screw shop to acquire some hard to find screw sizes. This supplier I have down south has ALL the screws you can possibly ask for. No kidding. Even the hard-to-find ones and the what-the-eff kinds. Then its back to mocking up the bender before final assembly and welding. I have to say it is one beautiful piece of metal art. It's near done and I can't stop looking at it. (Of course I had to some time soon..) Here's a reject that I kept as a memento (or a possible paper weight) of the process.
And in contrast, there were some things I ended up doing at the end of the day which was NOT in my to-do list. Drink a glass of Pepsi for example.
Drat.
