we bought this to help cut walls for the curved ceiling shape of our skoolie (bus RV) build. It was shockingly easy to use and we wish we had ordered it earlier in the building process!

Bought this to template curves for retrofitting school handrails to ADA standards. Most of the buildings were built in the 1930's with either plaster coated CMU or poured concrete walls. After over 80 years of moderately heavy use, these buildings are still in very good condition.This tool has been invaluable in our determining radii and diameters for fabrication of new handrails. Only challenge is when trying to operate off the floor, two sets of hands are required to hold the tool and tighten the knobs without the whole thing flopping around.Not sure how to fix this problem. Since the measuring of these stairs is a two-man job, this hasn't been an issue. It works well and holds the round shape when knobs are snugged up. Would give 5 stars if the tool would work as a one-man doo-hickey.

We use it to gauge contours on corrugated sheets when we curve them for houses or businesses. Can't live without it.

My last three steps on stairs are curved. I have always wanted to tear out carpet and install wood treads so glad I found this thing! Easy to use. Not a pro carpenter but with this the job was much easier.

I was happy with the material the template is made out of. I thought it was going to be thin and not last long. Going to be a tool in my shop for years

The tools is still new to me. It seems solid and well made. Due to the distance of the fasteners and the way the steel responds to bending it is not super precise, but definitely precise enough to get the job done.

Works like a charm. To match the s-curve of a table leg I am reproducing in wood, I held the template steel strip tight to the leg at one end & tightenen the adjacent knob. Worked my way along the leg repeating for each knob. I could then trace the curve on a jig to steam-bend the legs.

Initially, I ordered the flex curve hoping it might make a particular job (tracing the curve of a boat's hull to make and then install a bulkhead) easier, offering a guide that would need less tweaking than the traditional method. In fact, the device did the job with precision, saving time and money and frustration. It's much more responsive to compound curves than I expected and now employ it to transfer a curved shape, as well as using it to draw curves.
