I have been wanting to do this for a while, after seeing all the pictures lately i really want to make some tube bumpers. I dont have a tube bender though, i know it would be a lot of extra work but i was thinking of manually bending them.. say heat them up a ton and bend them with a jig system in a work bench. Do you guys think it would work out alright? money is a big issue so a tube bender is completely out of the question. Also whats the perfered tube dia and thickness?
Besides, steel tube is not cheap at all right now, dont waste it!
well hopefully sometime in the future then i can do that. thanks for the tips.
