He's a strong and young man. It'll build character, jumping on it for half a degree of deflection before it springs back.

I have a Princess table top bender in my shop, I mounted it vertically on a stud. A lot easy to make bends that way.

You have to have welds or braze joints.

Show me a frame that has none.
