I don't want to hijack the thread but have a related question: What is the best (DIY) way to bend relatively thin wall 1.5 or 2" tubing (like a curtain rod). The radius would be about 16 feet and the pieces would be about 4 ft long. To help you visualize it is literally for bending finished curtain rods to fit a curved window. ??? any thoughts. I have searched around for the type of tubing benders being discussed here but they are all for making much tighter radius bends. I don't know if this type of tool is what you'd use for the wide radius bend or not. Thanks.
