need help with scroll bender

admin

Hi guys, I have spent the last three days trying to build a scroll bender for ornamental iron work, I have cut, bent, welded, swore and cut again and cannot make it work. Does anyone have a drawing for the inner and outer dies? If someone has a good bender would you consider taking a couple of pictures looking down on the two pieces with maybe a ruler or something for size reference, I can then scale it from that, any help you can offer might save the last two hairs on my head.ThanksTerry

Reply:Thanks for the replies, I am looking to build one like the one shown on the post from ed mac. I know it looks simple enough but all the angles and curves seems to escape my fuzzy old brain.Terry
