tube bending!


For mass production class, we learned about tube bending. Our project was to design a half scale bicycle rack. This was fun because we had a non standard curve which meant that we had to devise a different way to bend the tube without using the standard 2" radius tube bender things. Some students even bent their metal tubes around the architecture pillars.

Anyway my partner and I chose to design a leaf bicycle rack that sprouts from the ground. Soooo eco-themed!

bending a metal tube is easy peasy
