Beautiful table! Always nice to see your creations. Cheers!
For a customer, friend or you? What did the glass set you back? Looks like a tinted safety glass. Looks nice as usual, but I think the miniatures might be your new calling :DQuote:

I would also like to know myself if anyone has and uses one. I have looked at their portable bender and their two optional attachments. Never went for it though. All the 20% off coupon the bury me with.
They are a number of videos on it, and it only bend solid stock (square and round) but would alow a lot of cool brackets and decorative things too.
That's what I was thinking ... I get covered up in their coupons as well. Harbor Freight welders are junk but I do use a lot of their other tools ... lol I still have a Chicago Electric TIG/Stick unit ... I may give it to my son.Quote:

I think DaveO is asking if you make scrolls and bends in the metal with a store bought machine like Winky and I are looking at (harborfreight portable bender; probably not known in Russia), or maybe you make them with your own home made tools.Quote:

Now I understood what was being said and what to ask Daveо:)
scroll,as you call it is made by hand, ( needed for manufacturing- gas forge, anvil, power hammer,blacksmith:))
if scrolls to do not very much, then everything is forged by hand, and if you need to produce a lot of scrolls, then built on the conductor which is faster and more accurately you can do scrolls.
if you are very interested, I can tighten, and take pictures of my conductors, and perhaps the process of manufacturing a scroll.
I have a couple, a smaller us made one, and a HF one.Quote:

Side note: Did not make it to fastnal yet, the clamp is working fine. But I might swap everything to the B connector if females are not to expense.
That would be great ...myself ... Don't have a forge or power hammer but I do have oxy-acetylene and ball peen hammers ... lolQuote:

all of the above in pictures-part 1

спасибо for another lesson! It's always a privilege to see the effort that goes into the final product. During the bend, how hot is the work piece? Have you heated it so it will conform to the conductor, or is the work piece cold?
it all depends on the thickness of the workpiece. thin material can be a cold, and thick workpiece it is necessary to heat up strongly.Quote:
