Here is a video I made of a simple tip that I do to form the guardrails.

Probably just me but whenever I would just use my thumb, the angle would be more of a radius bend than a nice sharp angle.

This procedure creates a nice sharp angle right at the bend point.

Hope it helps.

I estimate I have about 5 pounds of coupler springs somewhere in the vicinity of my workbench.

I've now saved that to favourites in Firefox.

No Problem. Lee Dixon. You will recognize the name from your Facebook site too. I've posted a few times.

Glad to give a little back. Your fantastic tutorials and this community are what got me this far. And I still have much to learn.

Edit. And by the way. Sorry for the "echo" with the sound quality. I was doing this work in a garage

Thanks again Lee. Don't worry about the sound quality because I think everyone will get the message loud and clear. Tim adds his compliments to a great idea!
