Tube bender bay area

[831_xj]

Hey guys I'm in need of borrowing a tube bender to make some tube doors.

Anybody in South Bay or close by that's willing? Can trade beer coffee or cash.

What size tube are you bending?

Are you looking to take it home with you or just use it at someone's place for an evening?

What's your time frame?

was hoping to borrow one for a weekend and take it to my work for the welding. Haven't bought te tube yet but I'm looking at 1.5" .120 wall.

There's one for sale on cl and it's only $50 but it's a used harbor freight unit. Not sure if it will break the bender or kink the tube lol

that is pretty heavy tube for doors, especially 2 door length.
i have a hydraulic bender & all die sizes from 1" thru 2" but it stays in my shop.
your welcome to use it here.

Hmmmf well maybe 1" .120 is a better fit? You're right that is just unnecessary weight. Tim I know you're busy and I was going to ask you but didn't wanna bug ya. If you do end up with a free weekend let me know I'd like to swing over hang out eat some tb bend some tube lol

He might have meant more like .095 1.5" . Or something even thinner.

Ahhhh so I see.

got the steering box out of the green heep & it's stuck on stands in the middle of the shop, but you can work around that if you want.
i'll probably be working in the shop all weekend unless we take the new boat out & plop it into the water.

Woooot! Ya man I just dropped the boat into sc harbor. They put in a brand new dock where our old slip was.

Are you tryin to drop it in the ocean or find a lake with water?

I'll shoot you a text. Got a shiittttt ton going on this week.

You're welcome to come use mine too, but I'm a bit further away and my schedule is a bit less forgiving
