This is for making scrolls on the HF Compact Bender:

The idea of getting a new tool-toy is not to be scoffed at, but I'm only
making 2 of these.

I'd cold bend the curves somewhat tight and open short sections up to
match the original with a rubber hammer on an anvil.


The stock is really too stiff for that, even if I had a anvil.

Thanks,
Bob


You must be using 3/16" stock, right? The 1/8" bends with the HF bender.
It makes you wonder how the ones you have were made. Either with a strong
machine, or by a talented ironworker.
