I want to bend wire of about 14 to 20 gauge as evenly and uniform as I can.
I'm not sure what diameter bends I want, probably 1/8th to 1/2 inch. I thot 
a jig would have different sized places for bending different diameters.
I thot about getting dowels and making one, but the one in the SAX catalog 
as
cheap enough that I thot it would cost less than making my own and all the
work in getting a homemade one to work (will a 1/8th dowel break when 
bending heavier wire?).
