This afternoon we made a tool to help make the pintles and gudgeons. There's a rather sharp U-bend that I need to put in stainless steel sheet, and it would be very difficult to do it by hand. So I'm planning to use a hydraulic press to make the bend. The angle bends I can do on the box bender. In the picture the trial U-bend lies in the foreground, the 12 mm rod behind it will become the pintles. The stuff in the background are the tools that go in the hydraulic press to shape the strips.
