Process work in the workshop

Jia Preparing the pole for bending.

Bending in progress

Abe: 'The bend will start from this point and move out away from us, we need to consider that the pole will stretch out as it bends and the length will not be the same measurement as when it was straight".

We first had to make sure the pole was level before turning it

This image shows that we have rotated the pole -28 degrees before the bending process began. The matching pole was bent at 28 degrees. These were used for the main frame seen in the jig below
