    Hi All

    Ben from Melbourne Australia here.

    I am looking to make a couple of things cheaply that work that are not going to be used enough to buy. The wish list, if I can find enough parts are a bender for up to 12mm rod/rebar, a ring roller (up to around 150mm width), a sheet folder (maybe 600-800mm) and a tube notcher. Have been learning to Tig, Aluminium and Stainless mostly, now have a couple of projects to get into. Can stick weld pretty well and have a fair stock of scavenged scrap.

    Am space constrained as well for now, need compact designs and also need to make pretty much everything with drill press (pretty big, 1Hp 22mm chuck), angle grinders, 14" cut off saw and welder. Should be enough to at least get going.
