    Well, some of us (like you) already have a ton of colors "on hand" :rofl:

    I've got reds, blacks, greys, orange, green, gold, textured and non-textured, silver, whites, and more.

    Finished up the bender cart.

    20240401_181747.jpg

    Can't install the bender till I recieve the ram mount from Swag. (Well, I can install it, but then I'd have to take it back apart to put in the ram mount)

    Ram mount I'm waiting for.

    Also, finished up reconfiguring a 13 inch floor standing drill press to a dedicated tube notcher.

    Still not totally sure. The ram mount uses one of those holes. But it comes with a plate I can use if it doesn't fit right. I also may use a chunk of 3x3 square tube to add to the top. This thing seems like it was built for a midget.
