Hi Peter,

Here are a couple of shots of the overall bender from the construction articles (Nov. 2003, Dec.-Jan. 2004 MEW). I can't send the actual construction drawings from the articles as they are marked copyright. But there are many sources for back issues of Model Engineers Workshop if the project looks to you worth undertaking.The tooling though is really something.

I made one of those, brilliant machine, quite substantial. Nothing give as smooth a small radius bend than than a mandrel bender

If convenient, I'd like to see some pics of it. Maybe a new thread because I just KNOW you have some some action shots too!
 
Hi All,

The first steam nozzle successfully completed this time. Three more to go.
