FORGElarger, outside radius of the corner. The cooler
side (away from the heater) is the smaller inside
radius corner.
Plan your sequence of bends so that the edge to
be heated can reach and lay flat on the strip heater.
Place the strip heater of a worktable and near the
edge to help position and heat multiple bends in a
tricky shape.
Sometimes a shape will require a backward bend,
where the side facing the strip heater will become an
inside corner. In that case, leave the material over the
strip for some extra time to soften thoroughly so that
the plastic bends without cracking.

WALL MOUNTING
To mount the finished rack, use wood
screws or hollow wall fasteners. If needed, drill
new mounting holes in the rack to match your
installation requirements.
You can now store your knick-knacks, cables,
and assorted doodads on your wall where they’ll
be easy to find. Now, go forth and declutter your
workshop with your own wall-mounted storage rack.

The laser cut-and-bend method of fabrication is
quick, easy, and highly versatile. Once you get the
hang of making accurate bends, you’ll find a wide
range of things that you can make.MAKING MORE
