Default Re: Harbor Freght Pipe Bender

An old trampoline frame might yield some nice curtain rods but a 16' radius is bigger than most trampolines. The way to make that bend is to set up 3 wheels sans tires to roll the tube through and adjust the offset until you get the desired radius. The curvature will be so small I doubt there will be an issue with crushing even if the rollers do not fit the tube.
