It's a start

So it just seemed to me that if I couldn't bend some aluminum I had no business trying to bend mahogany. Here are pics of two Fox style benders. One for tenor and one for baritone.
Will be heated with two 150 watt lamps. The base will be common to both heads. About $60 in hardware and scraps in the shop. Inspired by the pics in Dan's last post. Also you can see the two molds just completed.

Yes, Hana Lima plans for the tenor and Scott Antes plans for the bari (via Elderly).
