    Evening all, Brutus and CSXect, one of the magazines had an article about bending Gargraves some time back, but I don't remember when or which one so I'm not much help. As I recall it was pretty detailed, including making the jig. Did the workout thing this morning and yard work this...

    CSXect, That is some nice looking benchwork, can't wait to see the layout. If as nice as the benchwork it will be a dandy.
