I can't find anyone to bend a small radius on this 1/2 steel pipe... Guess I'll cut 45° and weld

Dozer style!

If I get it done it will be cool lol gotta get the plate. For now I'll probably shove a 1 inch in the front plate till I get *s-word going just to see how the new spring helps

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It's got some surface rust but I found it at work and it's the right size so yep. There's the new front plate

You'll be able to mount a 32" lightweight bar on that baby and won't even know it's a lightweight. I like your thinking

 

[Ethan Hamby]

The weight addition is minimal. Lol

 

[Ethan Hamby]

A few oz

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It's only 1/8"

I wonder if a local HVAC company could bend that pipe for ya.

the benders they use are for copper and aluminum pipe usually but maybe. I'll have to ask my girlfriend's step dad he owns a local HVAC company

 

[Dub11]

Or maybe a local hydraulic shop Iam trying to remember what kind of company bent us some stainless at work.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

There is a local place called complete access that can do it I think but they close before I'm off work lol if I can get the dies I have a Thomas and Betts hydraulic pump and hydraulic jacks at the house

And now, after I was planning on spitting some wood and doing to shopping for gun stuff, my plans just got thrown out the window. A friend of ours who helps part time w/my Wife's book keeping business, just had her (now ex-)boyfriend choke her for the second time... Looks like I'm heading to Bartlesville to pick up a travel trailer, a dead Chrysler pacifica and any other items than are apparently coming to my house for a bit until She finds an apartment... I don't mind helping good people out of bad situations, but the Sheriff will most definitely be there before I get there and will be there the whole time as domestic situations aren't my thing, much less any possible endangerment of my security clearance... Good Lord.

Okla. used to have a law....automatic 48-72 hours in jail for domestic abuse; a cooling off period. I think it would make me mad instead of cooling off. My buddy got tossed just because girlfriend called the police and said he abused her. My buddy says he never laid a hand on her, says she lied but the police didn't care.

I work 7:30 to 4 I barely have time to get to the Stihl dealer and hardware store most days

You should be able to bend the pipe yourself with a torch and a vice. Why pay for something when it's a trial by fire project.

I don't want to kink it! Lol that's the only reason I haven't torched it

 

[stihl livin]

Red hot and slow and you should be fine. The pipe is inexpensive so you can afford to kink a couple. The other thing to do is fill the pipe with sand to prevent it from kinking

then I'd need end caps

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Maybe fill it with wet clay and let it dry
