Question Home made Branch/Trunk Benders (Jacks)?

Does anybody know of a "recipe" to make your own branch or trunk bender jacks?

The cheapest jacks I could find are around $11 for small and medium (around 2" spread), and $13 for large jacks (around 3"+ spread). This is what I am talking about:



I have a boxwood that I am trying to style as a live oak, and I can see quite a few of these things on it, but I rather spend my tool money on some nice concave cutters.

Any ideas?
