Looks like a great bender Doc Viny. As long as it doesn't need 1.21 gigawatts to run we should be good!

[@VinyB57]

😂 Doc Viny, with all the pumpîng action I had to do for the 180, estimated that it was even more then 1.21 gigawatts needed for this bend! 😁

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 KZbin 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!

[@VinyB57]

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!

[@homemadetools]

Awesome tube bender. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@VinyB57]

Hey thanks for the share 👍

[@AustinCoulson]

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.

[@VinyB57]

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 😅)

[@AustinCoulson]

@@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.

[@georgegooge8212]

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

[@VinyB57]

🤣🤣🤣 Good one! Save the link preciously....for that one day, when you will need that inverted bottle! 😁

[@bretbradbury5559]

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.

[@bradtheabolt817]

You need to do it when you’ve gotta use one as a porta power.

[@tonyestvik7969]

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 KZbin, 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!

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

[@OverbuiltByHenry]

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!

[@hothotllywood4192]

Super boulot ! Il me manque juste une découpeuse plasma numérique et un tour et le besoin de fabriquer un arceau.

[@davidreames7032]

Impressive!

[@domenicozagari2443]

Why you don't have the jack at the bottom pushing up. You can put bolts on the dial so you can adjust the gap to put different size tubes.

[@110welding]

nicely done...

[@VinyB57]

Thanks!

[@rjung_ch]

Nice job, part two will be easier to use 🙂

[@RobertLBarnard]

I wrote a CNC product for The Trane Company (in Clarksville TN) so they could convert their 3D CAD tubes to CNC instructions for their NC Tube benders. Lol it was a lot of fun (once I got my mind wrapped around it 😶). Anyway, I learned about tube benders, tubes, and bending tubes! Like that "bullet" thing is what they call a "mandrel".

[@blaqlabspodcast5816]

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

[@Lwimmermastermetalart]

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

[@stevecarlisle3323]

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

thansk Andrew for the tip!

How do you keep the bullet from getting stuck inside while bending the pipe??

It's attached to the threaded rod and doesn't really move exept on thin wall pipes.

[@steveu235]

Thanks for the video. Will you be putting the plans for this in the design store?

No, I'm not selling the plans for this one, mainly cause the dies are very hard to manufacture and I think it would be a scam just to sell you plans with very expensive or very hard parts to fabricate.

[@camriedesel1202]

How did you afford all the tooling in your shop. I’m trying to build one like yours

[@VinyB57]

Simple, I builded most of my tooling. The only big purchases are; the plasma torch (not the CNC table, I built the table) the welder, my lathe and milling. And with time, a little budget and the will to buy old machines and fix them, it's not that expensive!

[@dandy6952]

Very nice as always. What would that cost if u had to make and sell one as opposed to buying the usual ones out there?

[@bretbradbury5559]

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.

@@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.
