Thanks for the compliment. I hope i can inspire folks to get creative with minimal tools. I used the regular pipe/tube die for my bends. I used a Crescent Wrench to keep the tube square as I bent it. Because my bends were not tight radius bends I didn't need to build the die to crush the inside of the tube. I found the plans to build the crush type tube die on the following web link:
