hello to all. i built this bender about 7 yrs ago and just got around to putting it in a body. i am new to benders but i am getting around pretty good on it. I used parts from an old copy machine and machined the rest.

I did my frankentele bender when I was starving on Lower Broadway, Nashville in the 90s. I lost my Paisley to Jimmy Yeary in a poker game...
$20 worth of parts from Home Depot, and a Chrysler 737 Tranny shift arm... Back in bendin business!
love it when someone comes up with their own bender design!
