When I win the lottery, it’ll be sitting in my atrium!

Here's a vid to help with the visualization of what I'm suggesting. You won't need the relief cuts he's made in the thicker material because your metal is much thinner and more flexible, it just gives a visual for the jaw clamping notion. How to bend 1/4 steel with with a wrench

So, it turns out that you, Bob, are in fact my uncle and the man!
It worked like a charm.... the first attempt!

Apparent you saved me between 5-7 grand on a pimped out pellet pooper, unless I win the lottery : )

Thank very much sir!

I'm happy it worked well for you. On the other hand, it's a bummer we didn't get you to spend a ton on a new toy.....
