    Flanger

    HI don’t have a good excuse for building this as I typically use a brake for bending but I just wanted something to do! I initially thought that the two fittings that carry the 3/4 inch bars would not deflect but I was wrong. I added the fitting on the end to eliminate this and allow for adjustment for metal thickness. The top bearing is canted 10 degrees to allow for spring back.

    Tried to attach more pics but not having any luck. Will try again if there is interest.
