Metal Masters!!!!
Stopped over at metal masters yesterday...
I was talking to the owner, and him and I got talking about tube bending...
He is SERIOUSLY considering taking one of his Hossfeld hydraulic benders and making it a weekly rental which includes the dies!!!!!
THAT sounds like VERY COOL IDEA for most of us here!
He asked me if I thought it would be a good idea...
I was wondering what you all thought.

It would be a great idea, get it for the weekend and do a bending party at someones house.

Sounds like a good idea as long as he isn't thinking he is going to make a ton of money. Two years ago, it would have been a serious money maker, but now-a-days, it doesn't seem like people are building as much.

From what I gather, he has an old one kinda hangin out, that he figures he may as well use it for something and make a couple bucks off it.

In that case, then it seems like a great idea.
