Hi - Great video - please can you tell me where you get the metal strap - I am in the UK, and I have been looking in builders merchants with no joy. I currently use rather thick stainless steel, but I have run out!

@mrwindsorchair The strapping we used is just perforated metal hanger strap for hanging ductwork or round pipe. Actually we usually do not even use it when bending anymore.

@starfi5h5 The music is Moon Rise by Trace Bundy

Hi! I really like your video and thought you may be interested in a steam-bending course taking place this summer, in the Lake District, I’ve messaged you with more details. Hope it’s of interest!
