Here is how i bend the big hoops for the shepherd hooks. I got some 7 7/8" cutouts from the local weld shop as well as smaller ones for a variety then drill a 5/8" hole in the center. The bender is just a 59 HF bender. I do 99% of my bending on top of the frame so you can see plus remove the parts easier. I use use long 5/8" bolts for the pins. They are cheap and if they bend i just get more...Bob
