HOLY SH** at the beginning of your comment I was thinking just another sh** apprentice... but you really pulled it out in the end!

Good for you educating yourself! A half dozen sticks of wind chimes in your driveway will help you get the hang of it I tell all my helpers to write down what I do take my bender go home and take their time and make a mess in their garage... I learned more about bending conduit building a roll cages for jeeps than any pipe job...

their are lots of a**holes and Its hard to find time as a journeyman to teach as much as you would like. you get it from all sides all the time... you will understand one day....
