Hello Jordan Welcome aboard..:thumbup:
You can teach yourself to bend pipe just do this.
Go buy 100' of 3/4" EMT AND A 3/4" Ideal EMT bender with the handle and the book ,, read the book many times.
Now set up a sheet of plywood in your garage or basement.
Put a 4" square box at the 6 o'clock position 1' above that have a 2" PVC going across your path measure up another foot and make a mark,,,,about 30" to the right place another box at the 3 o'clock position .
Now make a box-offset to come out of your box at the 6 o'clock position then make a 3 point saddle to go over your 2" PVC, then measure to make a 90 DEG bend to your box at the 3 o'clock position make a box-offset to hit the box at the 3 o'clock position, use some one-hole clips to secure your pipe.
You must do this in one piece "NO COUPLINGS"....:laughing:
Doing this is good practice and you can make it even harder for good measure .
Take your time and teach yourself this once you get this down you'll have a much better understanding of bending pipe and installing it like it's a piece of cake.
When you're doing such things as back to back 90's you should use two torpedo levels to make your work perfect the first time.
Have fun messing around with it,as you practice you'll see results within the first 100'.
I've done this myself many times just to get the practice and keep these skills sharp.
Good luck and Welcome to the electrical trade..:thumbup:
