I have a spectator's question. When you bend a tube for a Bimini with a tube bender, for example, do you need to fill the tube with sand or some other material to keep it from collapsing at the bend?
A neighbor down the walk way from my shop makes trumpets, and he fills the tubes with a lead type material that hardens at a certain temp and then he bends the tube and is able to reuse the material that he put inside the tube.
Just wondering. Thanks.
Gene
boy that a steel , you cant buy the blocks for that chep either.
and Gene no you dont have to fill the tubes with sand.
For those that looked at it, does it look like all of it is there and in good shape? I just made an offer on it.
All of it looks like it's there for that 1/2 of the system, you still need to make crowns on the bows and that mechanism is not shown.

Yes it all looks to be good but like Eric said you need a crowner also to Finnish the job coretly fly. I wonder if he has / had that too
That is a super price for sure - although a 6" radius is probably too small for most marine frames, still at that price buying the new 10" dies will still be way way less than buying a new system
6" would be ok for small tops on most lake boats where Bobby is.
actually the 32 bayliner i just sold had frame with a radius of less then 6"s
I though it odd but it didnt look bad at all Howard and kept the headroom fuller to the sides.

Is that normally part of it?
Bobby th crowner is a seperate tool with 3 rollers. You crank the pipe through and the tube is curved the length of the tube.

Is it normally sold separately or do they come together?

The reason I made an offer is I thought the shipping was too high. I don't remember now, but it was about $80 just for shipping! :o
WOW!
l wonder what the manufacturer charges to ship a new one?
$80 is nutz.. even into Canada

Sorry, I stand corrected, it wasn't $80.....................it was $88! ??? :o
I don't know - I bought one on ebay this spring plus the crowner. Shipping from OH to BC was $170 actual cost.
- These things are heavy steel!
