Kind, maybe, but definitely truthful. While your mantra about excellence is correct, you have a gift. It is more evident than even a drive for excellence. So, you deserve credit where it is due. I don't like to put people up on a pedestal- we all have our gifts, our temptations, or strengths and weaknesses. But, at the same time, if someone excells, they deserve to be recognized. So, I hope that you realize where I come from. I haven't built an alter to you, but I do get joy out of seeing what you accomplish. So do many others.

Here is a set of plans that you can build for fairly cheap. Lots of good feedback on them and lots of videos of built units on YouTube.

I wonder how expensive the die sets will be once you build the bender.

I hand one of the HF 12 ton pipe benders given to me, I wouldn't recommend one. I did use the hydraulic cylinder though to make a pipe bender. I bought a set of dies for 1 3/4" tubing for a little under $200. When I get a chance I'm going to rework it so I can use my shop press. It was pretty easy to do. I think I made it too heavy duty though.

This is the set of plans that I bought, about a year ago. I haven't gotten around to building yet mainly because one of the projects that I wanted it for kinda got cancelled. Very nicely laid out plans though and seems like the bender will work well.

I wonder how expensive the die sets will be once you build the bender.

If I remember right, he used to have the die prices on his website. I can't find them now, but I want to say they were from about $150 for the smaller to about $350ish for the larger ones.
