    Small Hossfeld style bender

    Needing to form some 1/8" by 1/2" flat bar to make some letters I decided it was time to toss together a Hossfeld style bender
    the bender is nothing more than 4 pieces of 1/4 x 2" flat bar with a few holes drilled in them and some round disks of varying diameters and thicknesses plus some 3/4' bolts for the pins with a length of 3/4" pipe welded in as a handle.

    When I have to paint I use KBS products
