[TheForge] Pipe bending

[Jerry Frost]

Glad to hear you achieved satisfactory results Dan.

The method I relayed is fairly common for logging operations equipment field 
repairs though I was pretty pleased when I did a few experiments. As is true 
so many of things I pass on, I'm just repeating what I learned from someone 
else. Adopt, adapt, overcome and share.
