I hand bent my first four guitars. I thought it was time to get a bender. This is so cool - I can now bend in minutes what took hours to do, and it turns out better! Thank you John Hall - nice bender! (That's his binding tool in the picture.)

I'm having fun.

Good on ya Steve, i started bending with a bender instead of by hand, i admire those who can but indeed, the side bender makes that step way easier!

Peter. It worked great on the EI Rosewood and bindings. I'll do the koa sides next week sometime. If you want to come and use it let me know. I suspect you have one.
