if you go to www.pirate4x4.com you will see alot of people that have made these benders, and they can get you incontact with the plans....usually you have to pay a few bucks for them tho...

but there are alot of "build up" threads on thare that show their process of the building of the bender.

today at work i built a mortar trowel and a shovel because my boss would rather pay me to rig something than buy some useful tools at home depot......

ive had to do that before at my previous place of employment.. i needed some cement finishing tools so i had to make em.. actually turned out decent.

i made a couple leather beater bags from old leather jackets.

The trick, is to fill them with good sand.

buy the leather jackets at any goodwill.
