Great video

The negative comments about this come from ignorance. If the tube bender can conceptualize a design he/she can be unstoppable. To explain : say, you want a 55 chevy made in neon..most benders can't come up with a pattern. If- your a really good artist , and then learn the dynamics of neon you COULD easily come up with a 55 chevy pattern. Or any request for that matter -- Bottom line... you WILL make a very good living. Don't listen to nay-sayers.

leds have pretty much killed the market for this craft. here in california the influx of immigrant tubebenders (some very good) had its effect on wages and competition as well.....oh well.......signed, neon tubebender for 25 years looking to do something new.........."Technique is a test of a man's sincerity."--Ezra Pound
