THIS. This is what I needed to enter metal working. Simple, affordable, and adaptable. Up until this moment I've been limited in my projects to flat, square metal sheets. To my great frustration, sometimes you just need curves. And here it is. Thank you so much.

@RonCovell 9 месяцев назад

Glad I could help! I have nearly 100 videos on RU-vid. Perhaps there are some other ideas you can use!

Excellent and simple. Very Ron Covell. You've had this bending fixture in your shop forever; longer than I've known you. I've done a lot of bending with just the tubing fixture clamped to the table for tanks and motorcycle tank tunnels, etc but always fudged it a bit. I think I need one of these! I think the radius edge tanks is the neatest thing I picked up from watching you (and Steve Davis). Keep digging in your tool box for these gems, please!

@vanderhoof5701 5 лет назад

Excellent Ron, Thankyou! Simple and easy to build. You just gave me an idea for a brake that's similar but the axles of the bending leaf are on the centre line of the round tube and adjustable for use with interchangeable tubes for different radiuses, more complex than yours, but one could do a 180 deg. radius in one bend if needed. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us 👍

@RonCovell 5 лет назад

Van Der Hoof - Yes, sometimes you need to make bends up to 180-degrees, and my simple design isn't good for much more than 90-degrees.

@dietmarfink8233 5 лет назад

@SuperiorEtchworx 3 года назад

The first time I used this method was to make a cowl for a steam traction engine at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney in 1988. I had your books and was learning metal forming when the issue of the cowl came up. I was just a lab tech but I piped up that I did a bit of metal forming in my spare time and was awarded the task. It came out well and I got promoted to workshop duties as well as lab duties. Thanks Ron

I love the looks gotten mid project when the customer/friend looks at how scabby or ugly looking something is as I'm making it, but it turns into a smile as they start to see where it's going and understand why I did some of the things I did early on with some bends etc. Good info as always Ron.
