Do I recall someone posting plans for a Hossfeld type bender in the
dropbox? Or perhaps there was mention of a web site that describes
how to build one.

A friend who is wintering in FL just emailed me with a problem with
bending and asked if I could point him toward some information.

Many thanks,

Thanks Dave. The link has been forwarded to my pal in FL.

Depending on how big the materials are, you might consider a cheapo. I got
one still in the box I have yet to mount. I owned one like it from a co.
called Breakdown, IIRC. Had nice round bending dies, and was pretty rugged.
Nothing like a Hossfeld, but it worked for what I was using it for. You got
to bend a lot of stuff to justify Hossfeld cost. A set of scrolls cost me
$285 in 1982, and are around $900 now.

I believe that Steve is refering to "Lockdown Security" AKA Shop Outfitters.
I don't have a web address for them but a search should get you one.

That's it. I bought that one in '87. The one I have now looks identical.
Pretty reasonable, and results are passable. For the money.
