The Chicago outfit, who answers their phone and wants business, said they thought they could bend that schedule 40 tight and wanted drawings. So, somebody out of state wants to help bend tight 1/4 wall at 3.5 O.D. and "is trying" ...nobody here can do either apparently.
There's zero chance for me to try and use what I bought to make something that doesn't look like shit when it's finished. Shitty part is I told the guy at the tube store that it's no good buying it if nobody in town could bend it, and he said....this place "x" can....so I bought the material. It's a fuck show all around.
I will find somebody that can do what I want, but because I don't want crap, I will pay the price and it's gonna take a lot longer to get it. I know when it's finished, it will have been done the right way.
