RE: Best way to cold bend landing gear
I have a large vise and I filed grooves of different sizes in the jaws, that's all I have used over the years. I have a QUESTION myself. I'm bending a set of gears right now and I want to make them with a slight smooth curve but I don't have a round item big enough to check up in the vise to do a draw bend. Nothing I can think of at least. I have given some thought to using the large drumb sander in my wood shop but I know someone would have a fit if they saw me doing it?? Any ideas on anything most people would have on hand in there home?? Maybe I can turn a big piece of wood and cut a groove in it?
