Metal Bender

[otdave2784]

Nice job you did on the bender. I wish I had room for one in my crowded shop

[BaileighIndustrial]

I agree with the other commenters here; that's really something nice you've put together. Consider all the intentions to copy your idea as the highest form of flattery :)

[lexmark136]

You named your invention off a catoon character? thats just silly!

you silly goose.

[PalmyBruce]

Yes, really good - and thanks for showing to everyone. 'Makes me consider creating my own wrought ironwork for my home, without need for furnace and fuel and noise. Bruce Thomson in New Zealand.

This is a beautiful bit of kit you have put together here.

I was looking at this over on the miller site.

I wish i had the skill at the moment to put one of these together.

[connollyd6]

very impressed i was thinking of copying your idea :) the first clips where you put radius how exactly does work are two red blocks free moving yes and do you feed it in gradually bending it

[rodstartube]

video cameras are cheap

[NickMonteleone]

@rodstartube ...So is Talk. I did use a video camera but I shot this in ultra slow motion. Couldn't you tell. Watch it closely

[rodstartube]

@NickMonteleone i see you are the talk of the town

[NickMonteleone]

@rodstartube ......What can I say?;-)

[ozzirt]

Simple and efficient, I like it. Like all good ideas, everyone says, "Why didn't I think of that".

Those whingers who can't work out what is being demonstrated here have no place working with tools anyway.

I'm definitely gunna build one.

Thanks Nick.

@ozzirt why didn't I think of that?...lol

[ozzirt]

Yep,.. to someone in the trade these things maybe commonplace, but to backyard tinkerers. it is a great piece of kit.

I saw your work in your videos and must say I am absolutely blown away. Now,... THAT is art!!!

[ThePhantomBlacksmith]

Awe shucks, thanks :)

I'm gonna knock off his bender idea and tell the guys I invented it...lol

[ozzirt]

Yeah,... I know, you only posted those videos to make me feel even more inadequate than I already do...... ;-)

I also like your nice clean workshop. Not always easy to do in the metal trades.

All the Best,

Spike.

YoutTubers just live slideshows.

[littlefatzrow]

You ought to save up for a video camera. They're real cheap, now. Even we have 2 of 'em.

[NickMonteleone]

@littlefatzrow Wow..you have 2 of'em.

You must be talk of the town. You da man.

[littlefatzrow]

I'm sorry about that. I get carried away sometimes because of all the crap I see on YouTube. You the man!

[b2c2552]

dude awesome! now build a terminator chasis!

[hardwares1]

sound track missing, and motion parts need some work, but, other than that, "pretty good photo album"

[johnnyzigzag2]

nice!!!

What is the diameter on the pins? 5/8?

[NickMonteleone]

yes....5/8 inch.....

[scientia2008]

Very cool!

Would you send me the plans about this metal bender? I have a small bore tube bender and a stock metal parts would be nice in my workshop.

[NickMonteleone]

Sorry...I didn't draw plans. I made what came to mind. Look up Hossfeld plans. It's a good tool.

[artgoat]

Very cool! You must already have some pretty good fabrication abilities to be able to chew out those dies to a precise shape.

[MrISIB]

haha I must be bored if I found this video! We have something very similar at work, but yours definitely looks better.

[zentoast]

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures. Your inventions are interesting, but why not demonstrate with a video?
