Peter: After you push/pull a few rails through your bender I’m sure you will start looking to put a "drive handle" on it. Suggestion: put a bit of riser block (say half inch tall) on the center tire and then a metal bar (around 5 inch) and a knob for turning.

I know I have to put a handle, but I couldn't resist to show it on here with everyone elses work. There is still a few tweaks to work out, but I'll do that when my rail gets here. - Peter
