I have used one like this. But the one I used could be made hydraulic.

How easy is it to bend tubing with a manual bender like that, with no hydraulic jack? Is it easy to make repeatable bends?[COLOR="#FF0000"]R[/COLOR]edneck [COLOR="#FF0000"]D[/COLOR]riveway [COLOR="#FF0000"]F[/COLOR]ab

credenza is almost done! The wood is ready for sanding and staining, and the metal is ready for the finishing patina. I decided to leave most of the welds intact, instead of grinding them down. Not sure if I'll end up liking it that way or not in the long run. But I could always go back and grind them down later if I wanted to.

I like it. You've eliminated the outer supports, which is cool. They're not necessary, and it looks cleaner. I see you're stitch welding--smart on that thin stuff. At those lengths, it could really warp. More of a danger when you have 220.holes = cowbell

Once I had the middle supports tack welded, I knew immediately that I wouldn't need the outer ones. I'm glad too, I agree, I think it looks cleaner. I have trouble knowing how much bracing is actually needed, I'm learning
The extended 'wings' on the top will only be holding speakers, which don't really weigh much. But even if they had something heavy on them, i think they would still be sufficient.[COLOR="#FF0000"]R[/COLOR]edneck [COLOR="#FF0000"]D[/COLOR]riveway [COLOR="#FF0000"]F[/COLOR]ab

Finished!
I'll clean the cables up, and then it'll be done. I'll take a photo with better light sometime too.
