Thank you @toxo great information.

You're more than welcome. Anything else, you know where I am.

I forgot to mention that I replaced the arm on the arbor press for a longer one and make sure it's bolted down. The arbor press is much nicer to use if you put a spring on the end of the arm so it's self releasing, even a bunch of rubber bands will do the job. Be sure to keep us up to date with your progress and of course, all the leather craft that comes from it.

I would definitely like to see some pics / video's. I agree the video in the advertisement is really thin probably soft metal as the original purpose is for the jewelry craft. I came across a video by Harry Rogers using this style of inexpensive bender ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3HjGaSs2dY) but see he has since upgraded to a more robust bender (  www.youtube.com/watch?v=CquWzzaQSZg&t=16s).

It looks a lot like a bump bender would do the trick here.  Is anyone using that approach to shape the metal?
