A Simple Tubing Bender

I considered building MOTHER’s tubing roller –?used in building the framework for a backyard greenhouse?–?until I considered the safety of my fingers while using the roller.

So I built a much simpler tubing bender from a pallet and some scrap wood. It worked just as I hoped it would, and I had 20 hoops formed in 25 minutes. I just clamped one end of the tubing to the pallet and manually bent the tube around the arch. It was a whole lot safer, too!
