Query – Derek Brown’s Pipe Bender – MEW 297

[geoff walker 1Participant @geoffwalker1]

Hi All

I have been making the mini bender for 1/16" pipes.

A few more errors I believe!!

Nothing to serious but here we go…..

I think the lever should be 3/16" square stock and not 1/4" as shown. No size given in issue 64 but if you check the fulcrum it has a 3/16" long spigot.

The 0.094" size on the former is wrong, should be 0.0625". the 0.094 is correct in issue 64

There is a size missing for the position of the left hand hand hole in the base, i.e. from the end of the plate to the centre line of the hole. I guessed 1/4" would be ok. Size also missing in issue 64.

Further to my last post here it is………

All the tiny bits really do test your patience but glad I made it as I will be using in the near future

If anyone else is planning to make it, do have some valium on hand!!!

The gremlins appear to have crept into the corrections in MEW 299: Derek Brown pipe bender Elegant Pipework. Item 1 Base dimension shown as 0.413 should be 0.419 as previously confirmed in this thread.

I think I will postpone making one of these until there is some concensus on the measurements!
