Good work Serge! It's great you can spend time with your Dad in the shop.

Question -- what brand and where did you get the temperature probe?

Tony I love your signature:

'Beginning 3rd Quarter: AZ 3: Murphy 1 '... That is just priceless....

Very nice but who's the ugly guy in the photos?

Great bunch of photos! It's neat that you have a musical family. I wish I could make the same claim. I'm somewhat the lone wolf.

Thanks Anthony, Alain,Steve, Ron and Ross

Thanks Anthony, i don't remember the brand but will check tomorrow, it was added with my heating blanket by tippie(John Hall), it really helped to know where i was at throughout the process as you saw on the pics, i recommend it strongly! [:D]

Alain, i'll introduce you to my Dad next time your at my place, thanks bud! [:D]

Thanks Steve, I hope we meet one day and play guitar together bro! [:D] How about pics of where you're at Steve, i'm ready to give you some encouragement here!

Ron, i have the PL 11 plan from LMI, i took a piece of plexiglass and cut a half profile of the soundbox in it, made the body mold and bending form with it, the bending went extremely well, i'm still thrilled with the whole process!

Thanks Ross, keep it up too my friend, when are we getting some pics of your work bud?

   I made a similar bending machine(still in the works), I haven't used yet because I'm finishing my first kit and didn't need it yet. Instead of the springs I tried some bungee cords because I didn't know what size springs to get... Seems like it wood work.

Nicholas, Rod True uses bungee cords also, it should just be fine! Good luck with your bender, do you have pics of your machine?
