Like always, I have something in my head and then I start to build it and while building, other ideas come to me.
And then after that i draw the plans.
Worked our very well this time 😁
I wanted to make it as small and smart as possible. At the moment its possible to Bend 750mm long and maximum of 1,5mm thick steel, shorter should be 2mm possible. To build it for 1m should be also possible.
To turn the Bending (hold-down angle) die (1mm or 2,5mm) for a bigger bending radius is very importend for thicker Aluminium (upcoming projects). If its to small, it could happen that it will break.
To screw it on the my weldingtable and have a flat workspace was very importend for me.
I have built a second hold-down-angle device that I can change if necessary. I'll use this if I have to make some boxes....I will ad more and more cut out when i needed it.
Finally, a channel without music and excellent content!
Thank you 👍😁
LOVE IT
My kind of video . No mindless bullshit babbling and quirky music. Straight up fab. watch and learn at an accelerated pace. Nice work , your efforts are appreciated.
Thank you 😁 we have the same opinion ... simple staight Videos 😁
No shitty music, no long drawn out intro. Just straight up no nonsense badass engineering and metalworking. Subscribed.
He clicks the button "SAVE" and proceeds to click FAV... Killer video dude.
Thank you 😁
God bless you, artist. A wonderful instrument and useful content
Well done Dirk... you have great persistance and with this methodical one step at a time approach anything is possible in life.
Amazing video no loud music just pure metals.
Man the beginning when you rolled out the sandpaper and clamped it down made me appreciate my vintage craftsman belt sander . Nothings built like that anymore .
This is how videos should be. No talking, no music.
😁😁😁😁 my thoughts💪💪💪
One of the best diy sheet metal brakes on KZhead 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 😁
I love the workaround for the metal brake. Great job. Will start working on mine tomorrow. Cheers!
Among many creations of bending machines on youtube this is the best! This is the only one who answered my question about how to take into account different thicknesses of the sheets to be bent 👍
This is the best channel on the net. Just show me. No talking needed. NICE WORK!
super nice build! I've got one started and have been trying to figure out a box/pan function without the whole finger build and fit, I like your solution and versatility. definitely subscribed!
A really well made piece!! Been thinking about building my own for a while, and yours is excellent!!! The amount of options built in is great!! I think another huge take away from your vid is that my bench needs a lot of holes added... What a great idea for aiding in the lil fabrication projects!!!
1 hell of a tool. definitely industrial class of ART. that is not just a tool but an ART
I was in the metal fab business for 40 years. I never saw a better Tig man. Very talented. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 😁👍
Truly amazing skills you have, your TIG welding is beautiful, and that bench is something else, I had one at work like that back in 1975!!!
Thank you 😁
You my friend are a genius. Fits anywhere on your table. That shows that forethought to drill the table accurate in the first place pays dividends for all the tools you make to fit to it. ✌️
Thank you 😁
Hab mir exakt das selbe gedacht, nur auf deutsch 😅
You are very fortunate to have such a great shop! Not fussy or flashy, but everything you need. I especially love the table. Perhaps the most essential piece of equipment for precision work.
Thank you 😊
Outstanding project. Thanks for sharing your work with us. 🙏🏼
If you need to make a different box type, make another top piece for flaps. You end up with custom jigs and if you have the volume needs, this is awesome!!!
Great job Dirk! Thanks for sharing all you do. I learn a lot from every project you share.
Wow, that is an incredible brake you made. I especially like the modification so that you can pass the panel edges through to make a closed panel.
Excellent video. Very well edited. No wasted time watching repeated procedures. And an excellent design. the way it can be used on the welding table, in a bench vice, on a work bench, or pulled out to permit Z bends.
talk about inspired design, you have some serious genius man
Thank you 😁
Dude that slotted jig at the end was brilliant! Excellent video! Thanks again for doing what you do.
Thank you 😁 You are welcome 💪
This is the best I've seen made so far and clean.
The BEST workbench I have ever seen!!!
Bro you always surprise me! I like that theirs no commentary, its fun trying to figure out what way you're going with your projects!
😁👍
I was half expecting you to end the video by folding a paper aeroplane out of metal! Incredibly well done, you simultaneously inspire and discourage me to do my own projects... 🤷♂️
Thank you 😁 Uh that that folding aeroplane is an awesome idea 😁
The welding was all TIG? Brilliant workmanship.
Your editing style is one of the best DIY techniques I have seen. No filler. Thanks!
Thank you 😁
Lo tiene todo ! Práctica , funcional , cabe dónde la pongas . Excelente trabajo, felicidades!🇲🇽👍
Just about to build a lightweight one, nice to see another hinge option.
Great video. I'd never have thought of tacking 4 pieces together and drilling at the vertex to make a quarter round for the hinge until I saw it.
Thank you 😁💪
Great design and I love that table.
This is absoluterly the best Sheet metal bender video I have ever seen. Some really nifty ideas and very skillfull fabrication. Love the modular adaptability.
Ingenious designs and execution on point👌
I'm always impressed with your skill and creativity!
Thank you 😁
That my friend is one wicked creation you have just built !!!
was thinking about making one of these for my shop. this design is far better than what i had envisioned.
Are you sure you're not the MENTALIST!? Your creativity is amazing!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing!👍
Thank you 😁 my pleasure 👍
Great video, I envy your tools and equipment. Very handy brake.
A melhor dobradeira manual que já vi obrigado.
Nice minimalistic design. Just what I need for small electronic cabinets. Great job!
Thank you 😁
Great overall design and build. It's built like a tank except for the barrel portion of the hinge, it looks like it's to thin. With all of the stress being focused on those two hinges it will be interesting to see if it holds together over time.
Thank you 😁 Yes will see how it turned out in the future.
Simply Fantastic.
A well thought out project- you are always thinking ahead. Great job.
Thank you 😁
I've watched a lot of videos about metal bender, your one is the best!
You are amazing and so ingenious. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you 😁 will come 💪
That turned out so damn good, man!
Thank you 😁
*Impressive. Nice thing about this is you don't have to waste 20 sq ft of floor space for a separate sheet metal brake.*
Wow, you make it look easy.
Que buen trabajo felicidades da gusto ver qué alguien trabaje así el metal
I've been looking for a bender that I can make and after watching a few videos, I found yours. Happy to buy your plans and make a bender for my aluminium fabrication projects. Love your channel, too...subscribed and looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Nice project and impressive welding skills - thumb up
you are great Sir,my teacher and source of great inspiration
Это гениально! Благодарю тебя за твой труд. Всех благ и процветания.
Von deinen Videos habe ich schon ein paar gespeichert zum nachbauen, wenn ich mal wieder Zeit hätte😩. Beim zusehen bekommt man direkt wieder Bock auf schweißen, flexen, machen, tun...👍👍👍
Dankeschön 😁 Ja so geht es mir auch als wenn ich etwas seh auf das ich bock habe 😁
so very versatile - nicely done
Thank you 😁
Love that work table!
I just got some great ideas for my sheet metal brake press. Nice design.
You are a genius!
Damn,You just made me want to put this tool in my lounge just to look at it....Best DIY-video I've ever seen.Oh,and thanks for not adding music.Grtz.
Mate I wish I had the tools and skill to make firstly your welding table and then the rest of the stuff you make. Ingenious- Well done.
I’m loving how versatile that table is 👌🏾
😁
Tip my hat to you, sir. Your artistry is impressive. Congratz!!
Thank you 😁
There is so many elements to this video, 1. Fantastic metal brake 2. That table with its many capabilities, 3. Your metal working skills, Damn best video I've seen good job..WOW
Thank you 😁😁😁
I had to pause several times because I was so caught up day dreaming what I'd do with that workbench. It's glorious. I'm going to make my own... and then use it to make a sheet bender.
Yeah, I love his table very useful too.
Well thought out in the design to allow several working functions. Excellent job.
Thank you 😁
Best shop built bender Ive seen so far, great job man
Best on 1 I have seen yet.
Awesome 💪Thank you 😁
I bought a plan and have now fabricated my own metal bender. I couldn´t agree more to all positive feedback! The bender works very well and is really very flexible!! I did a small adjustment to #2 (Flat steel 100x10, lenght 820 mm) in the plan: I drilled two 13mm holes in lower left and right corners and I now can bolt #2 to a vertical support in the table if needed. This helped a lot not to overstress the weld between #2 and both #4´s when working with "too tough" material. Oh, by the way, you also inspired me to enhance my welding table to a totally new level.
Thanks for the tip. Just started fabricating mine. excited
@@albertjowd8482 Good luck! I wrote my comment a year ago and have been using my bender to soo much more than I thought of initially. I really like this tool and it´s design, it works superb for me!!
Wow! I gotta build one of those! But first, I need to build that bench! That is awesome! Phenomenal job!
Me encanta este tipo de trabajos tan impecables y profesionales con herramientas de lujo y una enorme creatividad mis felicitaciones.
Τι ωραία πράγματα που κανείς ρε φίλε μπράβο.
Your channel and awesome job just are inspiring to anyone who like metal work congratulations man by the way thanks for teaching us personally I appreciate it 🙏🙏
Awesome 💪 Thank you 😁
And the most beautiful welds and cuts. GODDAMN
Impressive machining skills and welding skills, well done, a superb piece of art.
Man... you’re a good worker. Nice job
Thank you 😁
You're an inspiration to me for sure!! Time to get off this computer and back out to the shop!!
Awesome 💪
Whoaa! This is very interesting thank you for sharing to us.
Excellent design and build-Very well done ✅👍
Thank you 😁
That is fantastic. Such clean work too!
Thank you 😁
Such incredible work.
awesome build nice features that haven't thought of i will download your plans thank you for build & video time .
Lindo o seu trabalho amigo Parabéns José Luiz brasileiro
a KZhead gem!
I like that that Table/work bench of yours.
Excellent video and an awesome build. Thank you.
Awesome job ! Beat all around versatile bender !!
😅 Thank you 😁
I think it would be cool to see you use flux core on your next project even if it isn't ideal. A lot of us poor guys get our start on flux core so it would be cool to see a pro make something with that process.
Ok...flux core is always a lot of mess😅 i like to use tig because i always never have to grind. Standard Mig will come more 😁
@@TheMetalist awsome!
Great work, sir! Bucket list project for me now. It's a pleasure to see you work!
Thank you 😁
Super cool mate. Very clever indeed.
I have been waiting for something like this to build for myself. Also, I must congratulate you on the video, no mucking about and quickly showed the build, fantastic effort.

I thought it sucked. no words, no opinions, no discussion. I am sick of these speakless shows that can't say anything for whatever reason
Best brake I’ve seen on YT.
Thank you 😁
Классный станочек. Нужная вещь. Спасибо что делитесь с такими идеями.
Very cool addition to the bench. I like the bench top back stop accessory and the finger slot brake accessory clamp bar. Very clever. I must build one!
Thank you 😁 awesome 👍
You have amazing talent. You have a great channel to watch.
Thank you 😁
TOO MUCH GENIUS!
😁😅
The man has brains 🧠 your ideas are awesome 👏🏻
Just beautiful. Clean job man!
Du bist ja überhaupt nicht zu bremsen! Geniale Kantbank! 😍😃🤙🏻
Dankeschön 😁 hätte bloß mehr Zeit ich glaub es werden noch Jahre vergehen bis ich mal an den Punkt komme das überlegen muss was ich noch bauen könnte 😅
@@TheMetalist bau Dir ´n Kreuztisch für Deine Magnetbohrmaschine, dann kannst Du fräsen :), mit Deinem Drehteller könntest Du dann auch drehen
@@franckherrmannsen7903 uuhh glaub nicht das das gut funktioniert da die Maschinen ein leichtes Spiel hat und die Lager glaube nicht für für seitliche Belastung ausgelegt sind. Denk für leichte Arbeiten in Holz oder Plastik könnte es funktionieren 😁
@@TheMetalist war ja auch eher ein Scherz, bei Deinem Faible für Qualität wandert da bestimmt ´mal was richtiges in die Werkstatt
