how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Emerson is over there running his chainsaw. He said he wants to go "cut down some trees." That should go over well in hippie Lawrence...

Just get one of those "Don't Worry, I Hugged It Before I Cut It" T-shirts to wear when you cut em down. [emoji11]

Well it's morning. Coffee tastes good this morning. Carl are you already for Saturday?

No. But we will just throw some saws in the van and head south.

The Remy gear drive and Clinton need tested in a large log but, no such log on hand.[emoji21]

Morning everybody.

 

[teacherman]

And a good morning to you all!

Yesterday was a big day. I will be starting an LLC for doing a variety of services. First time making my business official. I had a sculpture and lawn business in the 1990s, but this will involves licenses and insurance. I'm planning to build my own enclosed trailer, adn am researching benders for aluminum square tubing. I am very receptive to suggestions and advice. Look forward to meeting you guys this saturday.

Emerson really likes his new saw, this was a score on my part. Yee haw

 

[teacherman]

I have no idea how many saws I'll be bringing, but they will be only of the Über Alles variety...

This is the bender I'm looking at. I have a feeling more projects will be presenting themselves...

Don't know how many bends per hour or day but if more than a few.............. might look for hydro powered.
Just an opinion

Not a production thing, just wanted to add to my ability to do projects. Found another by this company that might let me be a bit more versatile for the same price, except it's floor mounted, which is counter to my "everything on wheels" shop process.

One of the machine shops years ago had a homemade unit with two adjustable wheels and several places to screw in a stop bolt. As tube was bent, the inside of the radi was recessed. This was mounted to a steel top table. If your making your own trailer, fab a flip down shelf/door to the outside for the bender mounting. That way it can't run from you when working.
Hope that helps.

Here is the other option I'm considering. Not sure if this would do square tubing as well though...

We have one of those. I've bent some square with it. Better beef up and lengthen the handle though. We bent ours first thing. Worked good on square for what we needed though.

Should be fine unless you are planning several bends a day
