Do I recall someone posting plans for a Hossfeld type bender in the dropbox? Or perhaps there was mention of a web site that describes how to build one.
A friend who is wintering in FL just emailed me with a problem with bending and asked if I could point him toward some information.
Many thanks,

Thanks Dave. The link has been forwarded to my pal in FL.

Depending on how big the materials are, you might consider a cheapo. I got one still in the box I have yet to mount. I owned one like it from a co. called Breakdown, IIRC. Had nice round bending dies, and was pretty rugged. Nothing like a Hossfeld, but it worked for what I was using it for. You got to bend a lot of stuff to justify Hossfeld cost. A set of scrolls cost me $285 in 1982, and are around $900 now.

I believe that Steve is refering to "Lockdown Security" AKA Shop Outfitters. I don't have a web address for them but a search should get you one.
That's it. I bought that one in '87. The one I have now looks identical. Pretty reasonable, and results are passable. For the money.
