Homemade Season Extension Tube Bender

Been working on an alternative tube bending device that would allow us to bend electrical conduit tubing in a similar manner to that done by the device sold by Johnny’s Selected Seeds. Was able to borrow a Johnny’s 4′ diameter bender to trace the curve. Used three pieces of scrap plywood to make the form and a U-bolt at the end to trap the tube. Now that I know it works I’m going to build some large diameter forms.

Why do this when the benders sold by Johnny’s are fairly affordable? Well up here in Canada, the shipping costs to bring larger items in from the States are prohibitively expensive. It’s also nice to make things for oneself out of scrap.

The new plywood tube bending form alongside its slicker, commercially-produced American cousin.

    Just finished building a 6′ diameter model to bend hoops that will span two bed widths. Pretty easy.
