Short video on doing a reverse twist in 1/2" and 1" square stock. I also explain in detail the jigs and tooling I use.

Thanks for the video. This particular twist for me was intimidating until I saw this video. So I’m going to make up a jig and give it a try. Thanks again. God bless

You eliminated all the quenching and worry about getting heat in exactly the right spot! Brilliant tool for sure. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, that makes it usable for a wide variety of stock sizes.

Thank you for sharing your tricks of the trade! So many times I've worked with guys that don't want to. As though teaching there techniques will some how make them less valuable. So thank you!

Good video. Have been doing this twist with 1/4" and3/8" square stock for years. But my jig won't handle anything bigger, so will be copying you jig. Thanks

what a clever setup, get a reverse twist but only bend in the same direction! I always get to the point of twisting and stuff about losing heat as I get nervous I am about to twist it wrong!
