[TheForge] tree stump roots in pipe

[lee robbins]

A neat way to add roots to the stump is to half smaller pipe longitudinally. then take a heat and spread it apart. applied to the lower stump it gives the sense of roots standing up around the base and becoming more narrow as the pipe gets pinched. Flattened, they can be rippled and textured, or even repoussed as applied scars. 

another question.
how can you get a nice bend in a piece of 3/4 inch pipe. i need to make 8 galoshas for a tarantula with 1/2 inch legs.  anyone know of easy jigs?
