just finished these three Fretwire Benders , two are up for grabs if anyones intrested - made from 10mm Billet Alloy , Brass Fine adjustment wheel , locking wing Nut to the rear , Rubber sealed bearings and all fixings are stainless steel , Derlin (nylon) Main Wheel , 2 screw holes so it can be screwed to the side of a bench or just clamp in the vice or hold it in your hand - no tools are needed to adjust and set the radius - simple but effective just like me :-)

Wow! You've been busy. I still haven't tried winding yet. Have some cool gigs coming up though and have been busking at markets. Can't find wire in australia. Can you believe that! Will try the link you gave me and have a crack at it soon. I have magnets but no winder as yet.

thanks Bob , yep i guess it is better doing milling and lathe work for yourself than a company - i've never worked as a machinist i just taught myself - started a couple of machine courses when i left school but only lasted a couple of weeks - i was young and foolish and jacked it in !!!! heres a update picture on the benders now totally finished with cranking handles and a bent Fretwire with a 2" radius
