Steel Bending Jigs – The Garage Journal Board
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176153
I have had this page open in a browser tab for some time. Saving in case I find myself with the time and parts to assemble one. Harbor Freight had a similar model with one additional feature I liked; the “pin” that held the stationary end of the work was actually about a 1″ square stock, which would rotate to pinch the work end against the circular jig as the bend was started.

11 Mistakes Every New Homebrewer Makes | The Mad Fermentationist – Homebrewing Blog
http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/02/11-mistakes-every-new-homebrewer-makes.html
Ran across the above while searching for some basic information about preparing a dry yeast for priming during bottling. It didn’t have specifically what I was looking for, but there were definitely some useful tips in the article, and more (along with good discussion) in the comments. The author also has an interesting article on lambics here that should be a good reference in the future when I get a little more experience.

Some references for C02 volumes of several container types, sugar types, and a variety of priming and re-yeasting methods.
This ties in really nicely with John Palmer’s page on priming and bottling, especially the nomograph here.
