bottom end while bending, KWIM,V?)


Holy Cow Larry - that's way over the top. Much easier to just use
the bender...

OK, then bend the 10' stick 90 degrees at the midpoint to give you a
way to hold it while bending a compound angle. Someting has to hold it
very, very tightly while it's being bent.


The pipe bender will hold it very snugly. Once you get the EMT in the
bender it is very secure throughout the bend.


It got dark on me too early today. I'll give it "the ol' college try"
tomorrow. If I should fail my bending test, I'll go the FMC route.

Crap, Bill. Don't you have one of these? http://tinyurl.com/7x6bdp3
That or the dual-lamp type are enough to light up a white-painted shop
really well for work on the fluors.

I really like the two light versions on the stand. Extremely versatile
lights! Cheap too - usually around $30 - $40 or so for the 1000W model.

or, one at Home Depot that's cheaper...
