Me and you both! Been looking at hydraulic tube bending machines. Some can be quite expensive. But I guess you get what you pay for( sometimes).

Yeah. I am hoping to find a simple one for cheap used. I really want to start building steel tank frames.

Great idea! You start building them and I’ll buy one from you, that way I don’t have to invest in a machine lol. What psi have you looked at? Or tonnage.

Not sure. Just whatever is cheap lol. Probably one of the bench top hydraulic benders to make the down tube
Hope you paid attention in Geometry classes...lol...lol.

That's actually the only class I've ever taken that I've put to use

I actually liked geometry. It was fun. But I went from that to college calculus. I can tell you I will never make practical use of that class
Differential Equations. That's useless unless you want to get into engineering or high level scientific work. Differential Calculus being one of the sub branches of that particular branch of math. Want to know the rate of acceleration of a top fuel car at say, 1.2 seconds into it's run? That's where differential calculus comes in.
For the record, I hate math, but it can be useful IF you know how to use it. My weakness with math traces all the way back to my ADHD riddled brain. I can't do word problems and I struggle with things that have multiple data points (i.e. Differential Equations) so I was never destined to be a great math wizard. What I do have is an eidetic memory and strong spatial intelligence. What I lack in calculating and assembly power I make up for with mental images and accurate recalling of information. It's why I know ridiculous things like the differences between FCC and BCC lattice structures and their benefits and weaknesses in metallic crystal structures, or my ability to recall conversion charts to speak in different units of measure with decent accuracy.
This is why I don't believe that most normal people are stupid. Some of us are just programmed differently and thus excel at different things.
