start bending the longest parts first if these go wrong use them for smaller parts if they cant be used for bends then you can use them for staights. pick out the info that you can relate to and try your first bend you may find it can be relitivly easy or it may be done in a differant way take time and it will be easy and when finished you will wonder what all the worry was about and all the good comments will make it worthwhile good luck

I know funds are limited VB, but at the end of the day, what've you got to lose? It's a hobby, a fun thing, something you're doing for your own amusement. If it takes a few attempts to get it right, so what. You'll have learnt a new skill & have something to show for your efforts. A damn sight better than drinking the money away in the pub or slumping in front or the telly doing nothing like most people seem to. Get out there & get stuck in!  |
