Dear Mr. Thomas,

I have read in some of your posts to theforge that you have been using some
equipment manufactured by Shop Outfitters.

I have been considering purchasing some of their bending equipment and
would like to know if you have been satisfied with the equipment you have.
Does it bend metal uniformly?  Can you make circles that are formed all the
way to the ends of the metal being formed?

Any help you can offer will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Bill Gray
