        I made my own square tubing die (pictures in Post#27) because most of the commercially available square dies had that "Crush Tab" that collapses the inside wall when it bends. I wanted a completely smooth bend. It was also made for free out of scrap steel as opposed to several hundred $$ for a JD2 or Pro-Tools die.
