Interesting! I’ve formed plenty of sheet metal on makeshift jigs but have never seen a pipe anvil.
I suppose the size would depend on what rads you want to make. I see a couple of examples with bolt on smaller side tubes so you could collect a rack of pipes for whatever rads you happened to need to bend.
I imagine the side tubes would be good for capturing one edge of the sheet while you form the rest.
What do you have in mind to make with the tool?

I just assumed i’d weld it but having a rack of different pipes to bolt on is a good idea.
I actually have no current plans right now but always seem to be needing this that or the other thing bent. I’m working on another fire pit that i could have used it for a few weeks ago, I ended up bending what i needed over my knee, but it got me thinking.
