Regarding PE bending tools I bought one as bending boxes accurately beyond my capability to get all bends accurately bent for ready for soldering. I have seen on YouTube someone using a door hinge for bending.

Sounds like a plan in some circumstances mate! Incidentally, Welcome and whereabouts in Durzet do 'e 'ail from?

I seem to remember back in the early days of etch benders some one made an etched folding tool…..you had to fold it up to make it….so you could use it to fold other bits of etch????

I've got one of those, came with a load of stuff I bought from someone giving up modelling.
It's not very good!

Always thought it was a bit chicken and egg….when you have completed it, you will find it easier to build it….

Originally I came from Lancashire. Then Moved to Cheshire with my Job, from there I was promoted and moved to Dorset with the same Company. That was in 1977. Then in the mid nineties I was promoted again within the Company and worked in West Africa for twenty plus years during which I had a brief spell in Lithuania. all before retiring. I live approx. 5 miles out from Poole.
