no idea how I found this video but it was fascinating. Thumbs up man.

Awesome job. Will be working that out in my shop also.

Brilliant my man! Thanks for making this video. That’ll be a great addition to my tool kit.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share!

tHanks for the ideas. The tunnel looks great .....

Great video and info! Thanks for posting.

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you. Great looking build you got going there.

Thanks to you I made my self rounded bending. Wish you success in future.

Great tutorial, thank you👍👍👍

Another big factor to calculate into your bend is what size pipe your bending over gives a certain size on your work. 1/2 round bar all the way to 2" plus bar they are all going to end up with a different end result shape.....I'm on the fast track tomorrow morning I need to finish building my home made bender using the hydraulic arms on a 8N ford rear end using the hand cranked pto Pump turning counter clockwise I have about 6 bars setup already that will be welded to flat stock or square stock to have some good contact surface to clamp down the round stock form . Great video

Great video. Thanks for the great effort!

Thanks for sharing your secrets!

Cool video , I’ve got a brake and I’m gonna try this ! Thanks big dog !

I have a 4' finger brake also and I make radius bends in a similar manner but instead of removing the fingers and drilling holes I simply welded (stitch, not continuous) a tab onto the tube. The tab is clamped down by the fingers so this technique would also work on a non finger brake. You do have to adjust the clamp back probably as far as your machine has adjustment for. You can also slide the material out and hit it again to bend past 90°. I have been able to almost roll a tube by making incremental "bumps" and keep working the material around like the roll in the top of an old stepside bed...but, you better have a brake rated several gage thicknesses larger than the material you're working with to pull it of on a full length piece.

Nice work man!!

Great video and job

Nice job thanks

That edge looks great. Maybe a little late to this party, but using a shim(the thickness of the part you are bending) under your fingers and on the outside edges of the piece you are bending will let you make curved edges.

HI IAN, I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL, AND FOUND THIS VIDEO VERY INFORMATIVE ...GOOD NARRATIVE VERY GOOD PRESENTATION. I HAVE GIVEN THUMBS UP, AND HAVE SUBSCRIBED. MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS.. CHEERS FROM CHILL FROM DOWN UNDER IN OZ.

thank you for sharing

Slick idea!!

Great ides thnx God bless you

thanks for the tip!!

Very nice.

Awesome!!!

i LOVE THIS VIDEO I LEARNED A LOT IT WAS BIG HELP TO ME

👍👍

O I wanted to ask you when I get my 2 post car lift what can I use to cover the cross over where the cables go from one side to the other due to dust and dirt piling up in tray over the years , I’ve noticed that in my c channels on side of shop has collected a very lot of dirt and dust due to working in shop everyday, what do you use to cover the cross over to keep this from happening , thank you big dog !

Why not just weld it further down so no adjusting is required?

The pacing of the video is great.....Very appreciated. Have a great week! ( What are you working on these days?)

Hay this Wayne Netherland I was just checking on my lift , I have not heard anything and I was just wondering if everything is ok thank you and god bless you !

Yours comes out so round at the top yet so sqaure at the bottom. This is a older video but i hope you see this and reply. I am new to this position. Typically dealing with galvanized sheet metal 20 gauge to 10 gauge. I am also bending my SQ to RD @ 168.75 degrees but i constantly find myself either over breaking the top or under breaking the bottom. Add more notches? Change the degree? Seems like i cant achieve both my 90° on bottom and my Diameter on top.

well its one way.

If you want to be different than all the other utube wannabes don’t brag on your self 😊😊

hey dude when is the hot chick comin back she's a hottie

Very nice.
