Commenting to say I just used this video to see how to make a bracket for my motorbike seat (essentially a bit of flatbar with hinge barrel on the end) after trashing an unreasonable amount of flatbar trying to cold set it into a circle to fit my bolt. Worked great. Thanks.
I love how so many metal workers do some sort of sliding/glancing hit with their hammer AS IF it would "push" the metal in the direction of the slide. Lol It's complete nonsense. Hit it right smack with the good direction . Stop with the glancing blows ; it does NO-THING . THe metal moves right at the impact in ONE single vector (you can NOT physically impart several vectors with one blow, it simply is not how physics work in this universe ) and then the hammer rebounds instantly imparting no more energy into the piece, obviously Stop it lol
