I just need one more thing for now, a shrinker/stretcher setup. Might order that next payday, and then I should be good for now.

Don't know, but I think I'll check it out. I have a brother in law that lives up there, and he said he'll go look at it for me. Not really what I want so I wouldn't pay a whole lot. But it would work till I do find what I want.....

I just need something to get by. It would open up a bunch more work, and help pay for a better machine.

Good afternoon Gang.

I made an early and quick trip out to do some field work before the next storm blows in... It's raining now. Thankfully I got done before getting wet.

Don, do you have any experience bending thin walled square tubing?
