Get it before it's up! (What with inflation these days.)

 

You are no longer...legless

 

I haven’t been for quite some time, @Outdoorsdad.

Hi @Tony Press
Can you sketch the tooling so I can make one ?
Thanks a lot.

@Tony Press

That's exactly it, thank you

Gilles

 

And it's available on that South American river site for about $10. Search for "metal rod bending jig".

@Tony Press ,

What unit is the paper grid in please ?

Gilles

 

@Sellig33

10mm/1mm

Due to the perspective of the photo the piece doesn’t line up exactly with the grid. That’s why I also wrote the dimensions.


Tony

 

@Tony Press ,

Indeed, the perspective is misleading. On the other hand, wouldn't the small square be more like 2mm? It fits better with the width of 26mm.

@Sellig33

Indeed you are correct. My mistake. The small squares are indeed 2mm X 2mm.
