With a couple of rested tubes and an old 20 ton bottle jack, I was able to build this litte monster of a tube bender! No plans yet! Still testing it BUT for other projects plans: Website: 57design.ca OR Etsy: www.etsy.com/c...
Viny....you are like me, i think, if you are going to do it do it propoly at once! I were thinking, if you do the die- big 3-3½ inch and you do like schims with like you fit in the die to make smaller size tubing......?! You are realy one of the best on RU-vid, im also proud to have been following you for a long time... im following some canals in Sweden wich has about the same energy like you and they been a smaller canal and grown and still has the energy 🎶 thats the way I like it, aaahhhaaa, aaahhhaaa, 🎶 thats the way I like it, aaahhhaaa, aaahhhaaa! YOU ARE THE BEST!
WOW!! Absolutely over built my friend. Really great video.Going to be several months before I have to make a tube chassis though. Still recovering from a motorcycle accident where I was run over by a huge truck and nearly had my leeg crushed in twain...Doing much better but still in incredible pain...
I just found your channel and absolutely love it, being a fabricator myself. I would love it if you still had these plans for sale, though. I've been wanting a tubing bender for a long time but they're so expensive
Viny, your channel is criminally under rated. Keep up with the cool projects and humor. You’re easy to root for and fun to watch using your skills in action.
I would put an hydraulic log splitter on there instead of the bottle jack . I use them to power all sorts of machines up . They are Quite easy to chop down smaller if needed . and you can pick them up quite cheep
Bonjour, j'ai une ford taunus dans laquelle j'ai mis une rampe de carburateurs dcoe45. Je dois deplacer le mastervac, j'aimerais le mettre côté passager. Comment ferais-tu ? Une idée ? Suggestion ? Un grand merci.
Instead of air over hydraulic maybe try electric over hydraulic. I added one off eBay for 129.00 USD to my bender and it works perfectly. Can bend 90 deg in about 12 seconds
@@VinyB57 I might have caused some confusion with my statement. I bought a Rogue Fab M600 many years back and instead of using air over hydraulic, I bought a hydraulic control switch with a solenoid along with a 220v single phase pump designed to be used with a 2 post or 4 post lift. I cut the steel reservoir length down and mounted it to my rolling cart. I can make bends with a quickness and saved thousands by doing it this way. Maybe I should make a video about it.
I’d be willing to bet that his time and materials would render it expensive. I have comparable tools and machines in my shop and while he makes it look incredibly easy, (technically it is, brilliant but easy) it’s time consuming to do it right and as anal as he obviously is with his work, you can add 30% more time for him to take his time and keep everything nice and square while assembling and welding. My guess is that it would be way more expensive to have him build you one and if I’m right, your best bet would be a Rogue Fab unit and weld it up yourself.
Yo mec je te suis depuis un moment et je me dit qu’il faut que tu faut que tu crée une chaîne francophone car t’es fabrication nous intéresse fortement en France !!!!!!
Salut BlackSmoke, le truc est que tu ne comprendrais pratiquement rien😅 Parce que, bien qu on écrit sensiblement pareil, au Québec, on parle tellement differement que la barierre linguistique est bien reelle! 🤷♂️
@@VinyB57 enfaite ça dépend pour qui mai moi j’arrive a comprendre les expressions québécoises j’ai des amis québécois au nord du lac st jean et ca par vraiment mal enfin pour une saleté citadin de paris c’est incompréhensible 🤣 mais finalement entre bricoleur ont se comprend vraiment Et le problème avec les RU-vidur français c’est tous des branleur il y a rien d’interessant que des projets insignifiants Ca fait longtemps que je veux me faire un tube bender maison mais rien d’intéressant en francais
awesome bender and awesome video. not sure what i want more.. the tools in your shop or your ability to edit videos. i actually just purchased a rogue fab that i haven't even tested yet. wish i could afford their mandrel setup, but at roughly $1k for the add-on, it'll have to wait till i get more serious.
Free ????? Where are they giving the square tubing away? I'll take all they will give me.,,,,,,Seriously.....good design using a short jack to get a full 180.
Wires be too high on that first shot of the weld he always tell when they start getting pointy in the middle like it builds up in the middle I know cuz I do it all the time myself it's hard to do it in a straight line without moving your mig gun, try to do a straight one and you got too much wire speed so you don't move it back and forth you just go straight up the scene and start puckering up in the middle I was the only way I can explain it when you should be able to go straight up the scene and it melt outward and not f*** her up in the middle so different heat travel speed and too much wire and it'll make it pucker, but we're all learning it takes time and mistake and that's how we all learn in this life and it's terrible these victim Hood type out here that don't realize that hard times and mistakes and failures this is the only way to actually learn anything
I can't believe you haven't reached a 100k subscribers yet. Your content is informative, diverse, and best of all witty. Plus you are one of the very few creators that actually isn't ashamed to show their fails and share your lessons learned. Your channel came up in the RU-vid algorithm while I was watching James Clough from Clough42. I've since subscribed and watched all your videos. I think the both of you are highly underrated, especially considering the level of quality and detail you accomplish in your garage workshops. My only complaint is that I wish you dropped videos more often. Keep up the great work!
Anthony, big thanks wfor your comment...and I know...I don t post enough vids!!! But like we say in french: je suis a la croisé des chemins! And I will have to find other solutions to bring more content! I know this is why I don t along with the algorithm! I starded doing my full week of work + over in 4 days do give a bit more time in the shop, but it s not enough.. 🤷♂️ So yeah..thanks again and I hopefully will find a way to satisfy your "complaint" 😉
This will forever be my go to video for modifying a bottle jack, to run it inverted. Why do I need to run a jack inverted? I don't know yet, but when I have a reason, I'll be back here
He could have designed it for standing vertically and welded a plate to the base but what he did was still brilliant. I’m hoping that hose is actually a submersible hose because many hoses can transport fluids but their outer skin can’t stand up to petroleum based products. Viny, If I’m right and that hose disintegrates, simply buy a piece of PTFE tubing and slide it over the tube and clamp it on with an Oetiker clamp.
I'm also considering to build a bottle jack powered tube bender, I've been designing it for the past week with CREO Parametric to build a project I have in mind. Yours ended up being a heavy masterpiece!
Amazing video. Your content and editing skills just keeps getting better. I was watching this with my wife and explaining what you were doing with the jack modifications and saying how impressive it was that you were showing how to do all this work just to avoid paying for a pneumatic one, and now i'm excited for episode 2. I have used a 3rd gen speedway bender for years that is very similar to the eastwood one and I love it, but it is certainly not everyones favorite style, and it takes some getting used to.
Hey Austin!!!! Never heard of the speedway before, I had a look and you re right, it s wayyyy better version than the Eastwood. What is the max you bent with it (without cranking it with a 10ft pole 😅)
@@VinyB57 mine is super easy to crank, just like a regular bottle jack. The only problem is it will only bend to 90* which ends up being like 86* after the pressure is released so I have to slide the tube in the other way and rebend it if I need a true 90*. I built the entire crown Vic trophy truck with it and apart from being slow it was fine. I don't do a ton of bending though, maybe one roll cage every year or two.
That looks really nice, great job. There is no link in the description for your Only Fans page, lol. Can't wait to see the next video when you break out the 2 incher.
kinda disappointed you didn't convert your jack into an automatic one here is the YT video code watch?v=TJJYvZ8D5YI this design is well in your skill range and tool range not to mention cheap to do so AND its the same orientation also so no head scratching a simple make and bolt on affair ;) so you can either return the jack OR use it for another project like hydraulic vice for example
BIG Thanks Sylvain! I'm (slowly) getting there (100k) But I know I need to put more vids out, but I 'm at the limit of a burnout! 😅😅 Thanks of the encouragement! 👍👍
bonjour cousin Québéquois je suis tes avancées mécaniques avec une grande attention et je suis très admiratif par ton travail toujours très professionnel : DAO , table découpe plasma , à quand le TIG ?. Bravo pour le plastique tu as eu bien de la patience , moi je suis plus polyester mais avec une moyenne de température de - 50° C chez toi ça doit poser plus de problèmes je monte une Midas ( évolution des Marcos ) avec un R1 en central arrière alors je te pique des idées ça et là pour ce qui est de la cintreuse , je n'ai pas compris où tu fixais la " bullet " ( je sais ce que tu vas me répondre mais non , ça peut pas être là ! ) amicalement signé : un maudit Français
Salut Cousin! Merci pour ton super commentaire! Pour le " bullet" il est entre le die principal et la butée secondaire. Il est retenu en " suspension" entre ces 2 composantes grace a une longue tige qui elle est maintenue par un long tube (2m) vers l arriere...bref si jamais tu veux plus de detail, ecrit moi sur design57@outlook.com ume photo vaut milles mots 👍
Plans? I think I'd rather just build my own and yours looks awesome ! Id I can send out the drawing to have the steel cut and shipped to me this could work!
Common term for your "bullet" would be a "mandrel". You independently reinvented a mandrel tubing bender. This is an amazing feat, and now I know how such a thing works. Bravo! Plus excellent and entertaining video all the way around.
LOL I was going to say Why didn’t you use an air over hydraulic jack. I the bullet idea appears to be the same as mandrel bending. I’m not sure where the bullet ended up after you put it in the end of the tube. What am I missing
Salut un-named project! Je suis de Qc! Pour l'instant je suis pas mal occupé avec tout mes projets et ce jusqu'à la fin de l'année, c'est juste débile mon affaire! ...t'avais quoi en tête pour la collabo?
amazing work brother. truly...but wtf with the paint job. why all that effort and precision, too brush some old tractor paint. that hurts my soul a little bit. like designing a ferrari, building it, then painting with old tractor paint lol. id love to have one like it, even with the paint.
Well I don t care much about paint job...the cheapest & fastest is the option Im going with! You should see it now, with about 1/2" of dust on it...the paint is just fine!😂
Yeah it's free if... You have your own machine shop, You happen to have things like .5 inch plate and a cnc plasma cutter just laying around your garage. Come on dude I didn't expect totally free but this is just click bait. Not everyone has a 1/2 million in equipment in there garage and some of us are actually looking for how they can get a tubing bender and still pay rent.
Hello, your tube bender is exactly what I need! The only one I have seen until now that works perfectly!!! Do you have plans for sale or can you built me one? I am desperately waiting for your response!!!
Hello Sir, I'm not building another one and unfortunatelly, I'm not selling the plans BUT, you can do a screen grap of the plans in the second video I made for this bender, it shoud help you!
no sure if youd call that free..lol. also, you can pack the tube with sand to prevent flattening..i used to do it making 316 stainless boilers with a rotating table and some dies i patched together from scrap
Rather than use the slow hydraulic you can simply drive a worm gear into a large diameter tooth gear that is adjuacent to our die and drive it with an electric 9 amp drill.
While you're in that bottle jack you should have also threaded on a Quick Connect fitting so you could use it with a air over hydraulic foot pedal and convert it to a ram cylinder. I did that with mine and It's awesome and I'll never go back
I built a modified version of the “Got Trikes Bender”. I may need to add a mandrel for mine like yours. I think I have that same boring head. You did a great job
