Box Tubing Views
In the mid sixties we bent the tubing for race car bumpers, push bars, tire racks, etc. by taping up one end of the tube and filling it with dry sand from the kids sand box. An old window screen got rid of the trash. The trick is to put about a cup of sand in between each packing until it is full, and tape up the end. We did not apply heat, only lots of muscle. You must use a smooth radius to bend it without collapsing. We used a tree with a fork in it close to the ground. Defineately not high tech, but one of those racecars we built has returned to the track with the original bars bent this way. I still use this method to this day when neccesary.

You are not likely to need persuading that aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in our everyday lives. Yes, that’s a fact which does not even need to be proved. Just think about it: there are hundreds, even thousands, of activities and items which involve the usage of the metal. An untypical example is the aluminum box tubing as most people are not very much likely to be familiar with it since they simply do not need it.
