Strong Stand

When it comes to using a bender, the first priority is to have it bolted down to something immovable.  Unfortunately, that option was not a good one for me so I designed a moving "floor" that put both  the bender and me on common ground.

What??

Okay, I'll explain. 

The basic idea is that if 2 things share a common anchoring point then one can impart a force on the other because of that shared connection. In my case, the bending tool and I are the 2 things and the floor is the common anchoring point. 

The platform I built becomes the common anchoring point with the advantage of being "portable" when necessary.
