Quick and Easy tube or wire bender

Step 2Collecting the parts

You'll need:
1) a base - I used a scrap piece of 2x8 about a foot and bit long
2) a rotating part - I used a scrap of plywood about two feet long (3/8" thick)
3) a stationary part - I used 3/4" plywood for this
4) fasteners - I used drywall/wood screws (screwdriver required)
5) spacers - round plastic/wood/metal tubes of appropriate dimension*
6) a saw - for cutting the wood (preferable a jig, scroll or coping saw)
7) bending springs - these are optional

* Appropriate dimension is approximately any dimension. If you are looking for the absolute minimum (i.e. tightest turn) I suggest picking something as close as possible to the size of the tube or wire without being smaller.
