Here are a few of the bending jigs I have made. Years ago I bought a tool box full of all sizes of sockets for 5 bucks. I like the longer ones for my jigs. The sockets are mounted on pieces of angle iron that get locked in the post vise. You drop a machine screw thru the hole in the bottom of the socket and put a nut on it to lock it down. The angle iron was free as I scavenged several steel bed frames that people threw out. The arm that you lock against to make the bend around the socket is just a carriage bolt with the head cut off. I made these for virtually nothing. I just had to buy the carriage bolts and the nuts to fit them. I have large benders and small benders. The one bender you see I made is used for making the bend in the top of candy canes !! I hope this post gives folks ideas for making bending jigs they can use in their shop.
