Definitely get a tubing bender... BTW, If you have acces to an art
supply store get some 1/4" scultor's aluminum armature wire. You can
use it to make a pattern to plan your bends before you get to
tubing... Save on headaches (usually invest in manufacturers of
tubing before is do any of my own projects):O).
