  1. thanks so far folks.....just curious if I was to use the tiger torch with fire brick around the tubing would this get things hot enough? Another option I have is my oxy ace rosebud torch. I no longer have the aceatalene tank but I could go with propane and ox......how would this compare to just propane only with the fire brick enclosure built around it.
  2. I am wanting to heat up some 1/8th wall thickness 1" square steel tubing so it will be a bit easier to bend. A few methods I have and option to use are a wood fired pizza oven in my yard although this will limit the length of tubing to 36" and I am not sure if temps will be hot eneough. Temps in oven are 750 degrees farinheiht on the floor and 900 at the roof. I also have a tiger torch hocked up to a propane tank that I good line up some firebricks so I can enclose the tubing and then blast it with the tiger torch. Not sure what kind of temps I will reach with the tiger torch. I have a tube bender I just bought from harbor freight that is really made for thiner wall tubing so I am wondering if I put some heat to my tubing first and then rolled in my roller it may let me work with thicker walled tubing. I also could cut out a mold out of wood I guess for the shape I want and tnen heat and clamp and bend but I would like to also try out this new tool. This is a link to see a shot of the oven I am thinking of trying for the heat up if anyone is interested http://picasaweb.google.com/waynebergman/WayneSPizzaOvenWorld#5191153693045148706 So thanks in advance for any help on this ...........wayne
