Todd Ray thanks for your response. When I was studying metalworking, I am talking about 2005 2006, I had a dream to have my own lathe and all the conveniences in my own garage. And when I had bought it all and had to pay for 3 years even my own family declared me crazy. They told me what are you going to do with all those big industrial devices. But once they had a part repaired, they quickly changed their mind. Until the beginning of this year, those devices were covered in dust in my garage. I never thought I could use it for KZhead videos. You can't imagine how happy I feel now. I have everything I need and the sky is my limit. I have a lot of crazy ideas that I will share with you. Everything has its time, I will achieve my goal. keep watching my videos. With best regards,

Yeah, I really like that. Most benders require a large lever arm, but that requires lots of free space to move, and also a very rigid bench or floor mount. My bench is on wheels, with a 4-foot bar I'd just be dragging the bench around and not bending much of anything. That T-handle and gear drive is quite something.

Being a machinist and a rather good one at that, in slightly less than the average lifetime of a household pet he's created a hand operated bender that could be sold in any tool market for a hefty price, I'm sure. If he was a DIY mechanic instead he'd have taken the rusty flywheel and barley wiped the dirt off, taken a few old pieces of pipe of various sizes with end plates welded to allow bolting down to the flywheel for easy changeable multi sized bends and eliminating the need for a precision turned center wheel of one fixed size resulting in one size bend only. Fitted an old Chrysler gear reduced starter to the base plate and saved the personal workout during the bending process. Would it look great. OH HELL NO but it would be functional, faster, cheaper and could be done with simple tools and access to a harbor freight welder ... Enjoyed your video and you DID do a hell of a job creating a very nice bender. Us old schoolers live by the moto, "poor people have poor ways". lol

Yeah, I really like that. Most benders require a large lever arm, but that requires lots of free space to move, and also a very rigid bench or floor mount. My bench is on wheels, with a 4-foot bar I'd just be dragging the bench around and not bending much of anything. That T-handle and gear drive is quite something.
I find happiness in designing and building, not buying, GREAT WORK!
Very cool. I like that you take the time to show where I got the parts and how you changed them
Your collection of tools and skills is quite impressive. Nice job :)
That is a beautiful piece of work. The man is a Heavy Metal Artist.
I’m finding now that I need a additional shed so I can separate my wood working projects to my metal projects. My biggest ticket items to purchase are Lathe and mill. On the woodwork side it’s a very good thicknesser and panel saw. It’s taken years to get to this point but with the addition of a nice new large shed I can space out my machines and become so much more productive. I love this fellas work and I would consider it to still be homemade. Keep up the good work everyone. We can all keep inspiring one another so we can show our lovely wife’s that “yes, we did really need that expensive new machine”. Keep up the good work👍
Thanx Cameron.
I enjoyed that, I'm a fitter & turner and have been biulding my own stuff my hole life I'm 67, so when I see work like that I can appreciate it , you put a smile on my face , thank you , have you looked at Metal Shapeing it's awesome I biuld my own machines , I live for this it's what keeps me going so again thank you
You're very skilled individual
.
Too kewl idea. I've got most of the stuff laying around the shop and shed, I'm gonna have to build one for myself!
Good luck Adam.
I just love watching craftsmen at work - so inspirational 👏👍
excellent workmanship bro.
That's an absolutely great outcome from an old flywheel and starter motor. great job/ thumbs up
Impressive design and workmanship! Great idea to use a flywheel and starter gear
Great project, I am a retired machinist of 40 years and you show great talent and ingenuity. Thanks for sharing. I will be making one for my shop.
Ain't that just plumb spiffy!!! GENIUS!!! Thanks for sharing!
This is a project I'd like to attempt with my powertig.
Cool use of a flywheel and starter pinion. I will surely use that but have no access to a shop for the rest so maybe a vented disc brake and some weld grindy grind for a tube bender. Idea Mill for Free. Thanks!
You guys that work in metal are amazing to me. I paint watercolors; do woodworking, ceramics, and sculpture. To me, metal work is just as much an art form as any of those endeavors. It's intriguing to watch you carving metal to .001 of an inch with such precision. Must satisfy a large part of your creative self. When your finished you have a usable, working item. Too cool. Thanks for posting.
Thanx colleague:-))
Since discovering this channel I keep coming back for more. This guy is me in another life. YOU ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL from the rest of us mere mortals. Please put a list of materials used and sizes so we can also attempt some of your ideas.
Love your shop i am way down the scale of your equipment have painted my concrete section garage out fitted lighting and power with a 32 amp feed for mig welder made a modest work bench with vice. Love my wife but it is my sanctuary. from retrieving scrap metal at work from the scrap skip i have meany hours making things from wood and metal for wife friend and me .Thank you. Great video.
Cool project! It's great that you made use of some items that were destined for scrap.
Oh, cool, I'll learn how to make something that might come in handy... Oh, first, I'll have to learn how to make a lathe... Absolutely excellent build. Fascinating to watch it all coming together.
عمل رائع.خمس نجوم.ينفع البشرية.قليل التكاليف.أنت متفوق في أعمال الخراطة.أنتاج متفوق نظيف متقن.
Man, this was seriously good craftsmanship....impressive...👍👍👍👍
Thnx mate. :-)
Nice, no one can ever accuse you of not making your builds heavy duty. Such a good idea to use a flywheel and starter gear. I will be visiting the wrecking yard to get those myself. There are many things that can be built with these two pieces.
That's a very nice, useful project from available materials. Very clever, I might build one for bending steel for a trailer project. Thanks for posting.
That's a good idea with a flywheel thanks for sharing your video
When I weld a nut onto something, I usually coat the end of the bolt holding it in place with nozzle gel to keep any splatter from contaminating the threads. There didn't look to be any problem, I'm just offering it as additional information. Love the tool, Hand made tools, especially ones using re-purposed items are awesome!
Thanks buddy. I will definitely take your advice.
Great craftsmanship and ingenuity. From one maker to another, good job! I am also a tool guy and people always ask me what I do with all these tools and my answer is "anything I want". My tools and my mind are my soul, I can't not make things, It's who I am. The kool thing is, I now have enough equipment to make the tools I don't have and repurposing parts and materials and coming up with something new is totally exciting to me. You know what I mean.
I know David. Thank you so much.
Great job. It takes years to learn this type of skill. You learned well, from an excellent teacher. The shop you built shows how skilled you are. I bet you own a lot of prime items. George
Thanks Tucker.
Nicely done. This is a project I'd like to tackle with my everlast equipment. I love it.
Some serious welding skills on display here. Kidding. It was a nice build. Nice to see your ingenuity.
I am very strong at welding :-)
Give us a tour of your workshop with commentary on your choice of equipment. I am sure the manufacturers will appreciate and give you sponsorship
And this is why I don't throw away "junk"! Especially metal! Really beautiful and creative! Bravo! A lathe is the next thing on my list. I'm trying not to buy a new one, though. The quality of newer ones just isn't anywhere near as good, unless you spend an absolute fortune on an industrial model. A friend of mine owns a huge machine shop that has been the family business for over 120 years, and about half of his machines are close to, or over 100 years old! Just indestructible if you take care of them and repair them with parts you can make yourself.
Very nice job it is wonderful idea thanks
I do believe I'm going to have to make one of those myself. Thank you for the video that was awesome.
Мастер с головой и руками . Достоин уважения ! Лайк однозначно
Спасибо друг.
Nice job! Really cool to be able to bend steel profiles like that!
Very awesome build. Thanks for sharing. I will now have to build one.
Homemade! I wish I had a home with all that equipment!
Одно удовольствие смотреть. И на саму работу и на результат. Где тут жирный лайк ставить....
This should be manufactured and sold. Great Job!
Thanks for the video. Good design and good idea using an old flywheel. Might steal the idea :)
дельная вещь!!!))) лайк за "прямые руки"
Absolutely wonderful work. Such precision. I really enjoyed watching.
I see so many KZhead videos where people choose to cut metal with an angle grinder instead of a hacksaw. There are so many instances where a hacksaw is quicker (not to mention quieter) and easier to use. I'm just trying to big it up for hacksaws. Nice project BTW. Excellent use of an old flywheel.
This was a great build. You should market it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanx mate.
Всего лишь надо токарный, сверлильный, фрезировочный станки, болгарку, ну и маховик конечно😁
Да я только идею подкидываю, а как и чем сделать, это уже изходя из ваших возможностей. С/У
@@dragan_avramov В принципе можно обойтись и без этого устройства. Только что это меняет? в принципе ни чего, а идея она оригинальна, во всяком случае с моей точки зрения, я поддерживаю.
Привет всем! Позвольте и мне вставить свой пятак! Во первых , надо иметь голову и мозги, что и было показано.! А все рассуждении о станках это бред. Самое главное, это мозги!
@@user-wp3xq4mo4i Руки надо что-бы откуда надо росли, а то "От дурной головы, ногам покоя не бывает"....
Конечно, не у всех есть станки, но идея хорошая.
A very interesting use of a flywheel. It makes sense, and there's a boatload of mechanical advantage to be had. This is really what drew me to your channel. You think outside of conventional methods.
Now this is what I want, I don't have your workshop but you've given me a way to come up with a version of it.
It would be cool if he would make stops on it for common angles. That way if you need to bend multiple tubes they all come out the same
Just count turns
Well played and maintained Good job and thanks for sharing.
Awesome craftsmanship! I watched this video in hopes of being able to build a homemade roller bender, unfortunately I cant afford the equipment need to make the bender!
Great idea with the starter and the increment wheel. A stop for a 90 ° angle and a scale with degrees would definitely be a gimick
You need a degree plate and indicator so you can make repeat bends.
Хорошая идея с маховиком, возьму на заметку. с меня лайк однозначно
Спасибо коллега.
@@meanwhileinthegarage ПРОСИТСЯ ЭЛЕКТРОПРИВОД
Awesome build vid for a useful tool. Incredible shop you've assembled, and congratulations on building on the many skills necessary to make it all happen!
It must be nice to have such a great lathe and plenty of metal. Count your blessings. Great job..
Muy buen trabajo muy lindo felicidades👏👏👏
I was holding my breath when you turning that big hunk of round stock with only the live center standing between you and that thing taking off. But after thinking about it that is a nice trick, providing one didn't go all John Wick on it. 👍
Yes, I agree with you. It was risky.
@@meanwhileinthegarage I love the results. I was thinking of building something similar but using a big industrial gear box off a 3phase motor.
Красавчик,золотые руки и светлая голова!
That is a smart idea to use the starter cogwheel on a clutch flywheel.
I"m not mad about your equipment or abilities, I'm jealous.
You made this very great!! Good idea with the gears!
I've always been a big fan of making my own tools and stuff. I love the videos sir. Keep up the good work! You appear to be a modern day MaGiver.
I know what I'm doing tomorrow! Great idea and execution. Bravo!
A tube bender is a potential, Nice Vid.
Next project:-)
Being a machinist and a rather good one at that, in slightly less than the average lifetime of a household pet he's created a hand operated bender that could be sold in any tool market for a hefty price, I'm sure. If he was a DIY mechanic instead he'd have taken the rusty flywheel and barley wiped the dirt off, taken a few old pieces of pipe of various sizes with end plates welded to allow bolting down to the flywheel for easy changeable multi sized bends and eliminating the need for a precision turned center wheel of one fixed size resulting in one size bend only. Fitted an old Chrysler gear reduced starter to the base plate and saved the personal workout during the bending process. Would it look great. OH HELL NO but it would be functional, faster, cheaper and could be done with simple tools and access to a harbor freight welder ... Enjoyed your video and you DID do a hell of a job creating a very nice bender. Us old schoolers live by the moto, "poor people have poor ways". lol
You sound like a real douche.
Well done! That is an impressive tool, built in a shop equipped with impressive machines, with an impressive amount of work, using an impressive (and expensive) stack of raw materials (and some surplus vehicle parts). I'm impressed :-)
That's really handy. Thank you for taking time to film, build, edit and post this video.
Love this kind of stuff! I wonder is AvE can do this kind of stuff!
Great build, nice idea😊
Thank you colleague.
@@meanwhileinthegarage so can you?
@@jeffdaniel8488 I only have a screwdriver lol
The man has SKILLS! Nice job!
The best bender video on the KZhead!!!
clean work !❤❤❤
Home made if your home is a machine shop. Stil nice.
Started slowly but end result was awesome , thanks for sharing ...its a very valuable bending tool.....the way you made use of the old flywheel and bendix was out of this world.....
Thanx mate.
Very well thought out design, and bends that square tube as good as any commerical made setup.
Thnx Mitchel
Золотые руки, оборудование в гараже тоже хорошее-👍👍👍
Спасибо Андрей.
As soon as the lathe came into action, I quickly realized this was out of my league, yet strangely, I felt compelled to watch it to completion. The ability to visualize all the components required and the execution was impressive. Nice that your "home" is a complete machine shop, however. LOL.
Thanx mate:-))
I was thinking when I saw this “ FINALLY I CAN MAKE ONE.” Then I saw the lathe... Still liked that you used a flywheel! Good Job sir!
Hellsong89 You’re absolutely correct it definitely will not detour me, I actually made a smelter not long ago. materials are just that easy to get/ make. I am actually working with a fellow that is teaching me machine lathe and mill work now :D I will make one similar very soon!
Professional tool making at home . What a lesson !
Как же хорошо когда есть токарный станок !
Если у тебя в доме, нет ЧПУ станок и високомощностная фреза, ето не дом, а херня какая то. :D
What would something like this sell for? You have alot of time into this!
Very creative,clever, and inventive. Thanks for sharing...
Really nice work. The end product really seems to work well.
