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
@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne4 ай бұрын
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

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.

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.

What can be used to glue two of these together
@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne11 ай бұрын
Hello! CA (superglue) or epoxy glue can bond metals. Brass can also be soldered together.

How can I bend it and keep the color and shine?

After bending you can re-polish to get the color and shine back.

If I was bending solid brass rod 10 or 12mm is the process still the same? Heat then let it cool or bend whilst hot? Cheers!
@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Жыл бұрын
Yes, the process is the same for any thickness. It will be more pliable while still hot.

What are the dimensions of the tubes used in the video?
@modelman8139 Жыл бұрын
Looks to be 1/16" and 3/32". I could be wrong though.

The tubes are around 2mm but the techniques can be used for any size.
