I built a T bar stand (welded a T out of square tube, then welded it to a brake rotor) that is the same height as the bottom edge of the radius of my die. It will hold the tubing level if you want to make 2-3 bends in 1 long piece.Mostly I just try to never bend a piece of tube more than once.if you look at a lot of the buggy builds by pro builders, they rarely have tubes with more than one bend, they will sleeve and splice tube to make complex looking long tubes. If you use the correct size slug inside a splice, the splice is a lot stronger than the tube itself. (1.75x.120 wall splice, use 1.5" OD tube inside of it, 3-6" long). WAY EASIER than trying to make some big ass complex tube.
