For anyone (not Larry) following this for the educational value, I recommend a tubing notcher even if you order a custom bent kit. Don't go cheap on this and follow the "compressor rule". Find the most expensive one you think you will need and buy the next one up from there. Then it will be a few years before you upgrade from that...

Hole saw notchers work fine but make sure you can order replacement parts for them. I burned the bushings out in my first one and had to replace the whole thing.

A word on tubing and pipe. Tubing is measured as an outside diameter and pipe is measured as an inside diameter. Be sure you speak in the right language when you talk to a metal shop.
