I want occasionally to bend a piece of flat bar no more than 6" wide, and

hydraulic pump, and make these pieces when I need them? Are any readily
available, or what would it cost for a machinist to make me a set that would
do up to 90 deg? They got that stuff @ HF?

Some of those are pretty well done! Time for me to build one!

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
