The first thing i did was to flip it over and drill a couple holes in the bottom plate. That way you can bolt it down to something substantial. If it falls on you while bending you will be hurt. Then get some pipe to bend....pipe not tubing. Put the shoe thing (mandral) of the size pipe you want to bend. Then hold the round things in the middle and slide the pin in. it really dosent make alot of differance which holes you use. Slide a piece of pipe in and tighten the release on the jack at the bottom and start jacking. If you want a curved piece of pipe jack it a couple pumps ,release it.. slide the pipe an inch or so and do it again. do that how ever long you want the curve to be. It takes a while. :lol:
