Rick,

You have no idea of the number of helpful suggestions fellow TV members have made toward the improvement of the EarthTainer design over the years. It has truly been a collaborative effort on the part of many folks. That is why I never intend to sell EarthTainers commercially. "Freeware" is where this collective knowledge belongs.

Since it is just wire you can make a cheap bending break from three pieces of wood or metal and some inexpensive clamps.
place the wire on your workbench or table. then place a sheet of wood or metal on top of that and either clap or screw it securely to the table. Then slide a wood or metal strip under the wire and up to the clamped up board. place the third sheet over this sheet and clamp them together like a sandwich. Slowly make your bend.
As long as the boards are straight and placed where you need the bend and the edges are clean then it should work well. I have bent brass sheets this way before with good results.
