What happens here

With the conduit correctly positioned in the manual bender, the father instructs the son to stand up and apply a minimal amount of weight to the bender handle. The goal is to create the first, slight upward bend of the offset. The son applies pressure, but slightly over-bends the conduit. The father notes that it's 'even too much' but acknowledges the bend has been made.

Goal: Create the initial upward bend for the conduit offset using the manual bender.
