This is the first of the two new ones…

I really don’t know if it is method used by any one else up to date, but I go for it pretty often and call it the Poor-man’s Bender.


It is really nothing too complicated as it uses the simple rules of mechanics and works pretty primitively.
This diagram below shall sort of illustrate what it is all about:

1. You choose a branch and decide how you want it to end up like.
2. You enforce (important!!) the bark for protection.
3. Insert a screw in a cylindrical object and position it.
4. Bind the tree to the nail/screw from this side.
5. Screw and bind the next screw (You can do this part prehand… but mostly I prefer to at least mark it like this) after you lightly bend the branch taking support from the cylinder.
6. Now tighten up the bindings… to the amount you wish it to bend.
