Want to shape and curl steel chains like an expert blacksmith but don’t have a steel chain bender in your shop? With some scrap steel and elbow grease, you can construct your own customized bender for steel chains using basic tools!
In this DIY metalworking tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how to build a sturdy chain bending tool that gives you pro-level control over bending chain links. You’ll learn how to cut and weld a steel handle and base, add customized pegs for different chain sizes, and use leverage force to bend links precisely without breakage. I’ll also show tips for annealing chains beforehand to prevent cracking.

With some basic welding skills and scrap steel, you can start crafting professional-quality coiled and looped chain elements!
