So after spending some time getting to know the fids and their preferences, I have determined the need for some custom perches around the house (and eventual acrylic toys). Charlie loves to perch on top of the kitchen cabinets and on top of my spoon collection. He'll sit up there for quite some time and just survey the room while I work. Since he has taken a shine to these spots, I have decided to make some custom perches for him. The best method I have come up with for these custom perches to make them fit and blend in is to make part of them out of acrylic. Bending acrylic by hand is a pain and rarely successful, especially for a perfectionist like myself. As a result, I decided to make a machine to help me do it! I'll let the video and the pictures do the explaining. Hope you enjoy!

Make one myself:coffeescreen:. I didn't understand half of what you said. However it looks awesome. I would have liked to see you bend a piece of acrylic. Can you get a helper to video so you can actually show the bending process. PLEASE.
