Then for my bender I just have a Manual Trick-tools Model 3 bender. I'm hoping to have the Beileigh model 150 by April of next year so I can start fabricating extremely

Come get it gil. I've even made a cart so you can wrap every thing up on it and wheel it around all day long if you want and it never needs to be picked up. It's got like a 25lb role on it or somthing.
