Extremely cool.

why do you need others approval? if your happy isn't that what matters
This is the bender my students and I built to Ernie Liemkuhler's (sp?) plans.
The plans are still available in the Dropbox .

If its stupid, and it works, it aint stupid.

Very nice. How about posting a blue print?

I dunno. Picture a power washer with several nozzles securely bolted its frame and pointing toward itself. You'd have a machine whose only function was to wash its self. It'd work, but it'd be stupid. :-)
Errol,
What's the file name(s)? I just scanned the Dropbox and all archives, looking for pipe or tube bender, didn't see this one.

But it would make a great nozzle cleaner
And you could likely sell it as "Art"

scroll down to Tubing
Mind you this is a tube roller not a draw bender. Different beast for different job. I designed it for gentle curves in hand rail tubing.
I missed the staff meeting but the minutes show Gunner wrote back on Sun, 26 Sep 2004 06:24:25 GMT in rec.crafts.metalworking :
Which means it can command a much higher price too.

Nice job. Here's mine:
