JHN,
If you are looking to do things like small square tubing, 1/2,3/4 and 1 inch you can do large radius arcs using a soft blow hammer, I use a big leather one, and a piece of 2 x 6 wood. You place the tube on the wood and beat on it with the hammer and it will start to arc. You won't get real tight radius but you can make nice large arcs. I did the 3/4 sq. tubing for the body supports and door frames on my roadster this way. Never tried it on round tube but it might work if you are careful.
I have looked at the roller Willie bught from Harbor Freight and they are not bad and you can make almost any type of roller for any kind of tube size. I thing at $149 they are a great deal, plan to get one soon.
