Hi I am a model, I decided to build my own bending tool, I built the first one in 2016, now after 6 months of testing, building models, bending sheet PE, I built the next model. How do you like it ?

Very similar to the one I use, however what I like is that you have added an angled side to the main 'tooth' by the left locking screw that would be very useful .... so I'm going to cut a piece of mine!

Can't remember who mine is made by, got it from Sprue Brothers I think.
Who killed Stimpy?

Anodizing went so well, unless it was dark enough to allow long work.

Your bending tool looks really good ^_^.
Out of curiosity, as I spend almost 30 years of my professional life in the plating industry, do you do the anodizing at your own house? Or do you work in the plating industry yourself?
The equipment needed is not that sophisticated, but I would be a bit hesitant about the use of the required chemicals in my house.

Anodizing outsourced the company, the red falls a little in the orange, came out fire. Engraver is a laser, the mass of problems was.

Hello, unfortunately I did not find a modeling shop that would like to order bending machines. Thank you all for the comments, I wish you many successful models and I will probably make a difference as I will be building the third version. Best wishes.
