Re: [ATM] bending square aluminium tube

[Dale Eason <atmpob@yahoo.com>]

I tried that method once a failed miserably.  I could
not machine the wheels.  I could not hold their axles
against the forces.  All I got was tubing with a bunch
of dents from the three wheels.  Would you care to
give a more detailed description or a picture as to
how one would make it with only a saw and a router. 
Since that would be all that is needed to make the one
pictured.
