Pipe bender

How did you make the dies? I have a plan to make some for accessories for the 4x4, and so far I was going to use the ball turning jig on the lathe to make the concave forms, then cut the part in half to make the semi-circle. Just looking for some other ideas.

...not meaning to hijack the thread...

Righty Tighty, yes you can make up 4 x 4 accessories if you make up your own bender. Here are some Step Ups I made up with my bender to fit a '95 Ford F250 4x4, they sit pretty high, so it was nice having the steps for getting in and out of the truck.

Fit real nice on there. Was able to get some nice 90° Bends with my bender too.
