[TowerTalk] Bending Rebar

[Jim White, K4OJ]

You're nuts!

Have it bent up for you - go to a large local lumber yard and say you 
need some rebar - here is what I need...

NOTE I did not saw Home Center...

They have machines to bend it up - or can refer you to someone who 
does...  it is really cheap to do and you cannot hope to ever make as 
tight a bend as a hydraulic machine can make...

You will probably want them to make your "hoops" with the splice along 
the side rather than the corner - sometimes they run wild (past the 
meeting point) - not to worry just tie that with the bar ties...
