I've never worked with brass tubing before and I will need to soon. This video is very clear and helpful. I am confident I will have success. Thank you!

Aren't these scale modelling metals already annealed? I have some Trumpeter thick wall tubes 0.7 mm OD, and they bend 90° beautifully without heating or distorting, even tight bend over plier jaws. Unfortunately not available any more.

Very helpful. BTW, the white base makes it very hard to see what you are doing at times. It glares. Need a different colour

Glad it was helpful. We have been experimenting with different base colours and this wasn't the best. Thank you for your feedback!

Hey I love this video, Question: How much can the ones used hold?

Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Does it hold it sharp, or does it collapse. I need to make a set of extractors for a glow engine ,tube size is 7mm OD

Thank you for your question! The integrity and shape of the bend depends on how tight the bend is. Without internal support the tube will eventually collapse. For consistent internal shape integrity, fill the inside of the tube with fine sand or plastic rod to spread the load internally. If using sand, use a small box of sand and insert the tube while filling the internals. Bend it while embedded in the sand so there is sand all around the tube. If using plastic rod you will need to heat the tube to burn out the rod, and then polish the inside.

thanks for the video can you solder the pieces together and if so what type of solder would you use

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching! Yes, brass solders very well with regular electrical solder.

What about bending perfect 90 degrees

That is possible.

Handy video, does the same apply to bending rectangular tubing when bending on the tall side?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching! Yes the same principles apply but rectangular tubing is more difficult to bend.

After annealing and hardening, how do you restore the brass coloring? Thank you.

Thank you for watching! The heat discoloration can be sanded and polished to a bright finish.

Great Video, does square brass tubing bend the same way?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching! Yes, square section does bend the same way. You will need to be careful with tight bends as the square section can fold over itself, much like round tube when bent too far.
