90 degree bender for 1/8" bar

Emfairmeadows - Thursday, April 5, 2007 - 11:48pm

I've just spent the past 1/2 hour on the internet trying to figure out if there is a tool that will bend 1/8" stainless steel bar at a 90 degree angle. I know there are a lot of compact benders out there, but I don't know if the throat is tall enough to accommodate 8"L x 1-1/2" W x 1/8" bar. Does anyone on the list have a bender that can bend bar at a sharp 90 degree angle?

Oh the stress of it all...

Money Makers

I'm having a rough day prioritizing the business stresses at the moment. Any thoughts on how to keep going when things get complicated?

So maybe that was a bit vague. I'm juggling the ordering of supplies, customer follow up, documentation, billing, employment issues, accounting and taxes. I'm trying to keep lists, but there are so many things on the list that it seems never ending.

OT: Time to visit the Authorized Mac Doctor

Emfairmeadows - Friday, June 2, 2006 - 4:17pm

So, I packed up my emac and took it to the local computer repair shop. It was confirmed that my ethernet port is caput. The external modem seems to be fine. I had the epiphany that I should have just hooked up the laptop to the modem to see if it functioned. That's what I'm on now and I'm soo happy to be back on DSL.
