| The best way to bend brass tubing is to anneal it it first by heating until it is just starts to turn a dull red, let cool then slip the spring over the tubing and (within limits) bend away. Aluminum tubing is soft enough to bend without any annealling. The little butane torch at the top was purchased from Menards: $6.00 for the torch and $5.00 for a life-time supply of Butane in a aerosol can. |

| DonC and all: This is a set of bending springs from K&S (the folks that make brass tubing) that I use to bend shapes. the set ia available at your LHS or Hobby Lobby. It can be used on tubing from 1/16" to 3/16" O.D. (I don't think that you can find it for $1.75 anymore however. |
