Need some 1" and 1.5" round tubing bent. Who can do it? Wonder how much shops charge. Might buy a manual bender and do it myself? Any recomendations?

don't use press jacks on pipe that small, it'll pinch it in a heart beat! unless it's really thin walled

u can use a cheap one and get good bends if u fill the tube with water and pour sand into it. that is of course after u tape ends up. make sure u fill it to the top. its alot of work but the bends will look good. :)
