'looking good! I have some other things to show, both victory and failure but my computer is getting serviced this weekend and I can't get my images from the camera to the internet.

It is very interesting but the bending geometry used on many of these devices wouldn't work for most tube bending situations. You usually have to wrap the tooling all around the "moment" (where the bend happens) and the fulcrum of the handle would have to be in the center of the bend rad, but due to the diameter and thickness of where the bend takes place it works.
