[@luckyforge9627]

Your videos are always informative. Just good straight talk and no silly nonsense.

Thank you for your feedback!

You eliminated all the quenching and worry about getting heat in exactly the right spot! Brilliant tool for sure. Thanks for the idea.

X2 been twisting and cooling and reheating with the torch,trying remember wich way to twist the next time.THanks JOhn for the jig idea,love your channel.So if I want the twist tighter squeeze the two crescents closer together on the jig eh?

[@johnbennett7772]

Yes, that makes it usable for a wide variety of stock sizes.

very helpful tip on giving the crescent wrench a radius, thanks and subscribed!

[@PedalSteel-by2hx]

Thanks for the video. This particular twist for me was intimidating until I saw this video. So I’m going to make up a jig and give it a try. Thanks again. God bless

[@johnbennett7772]

Good luck, let me know how it turns out.

Thank you for sharing your tricks of the trade! So many times I've worked with guys that don't want to. As though teaching there techniques will some how make them less valuable. So thank you!

[@johnbennett7772]

Your welcome, It's something I enjoy!

[@jackdawg4579]

what a clever setup, get a reverse twist but only bend in the same direction! I always get to the point of twisting and stuff about losing heat as I get nervous I am about to twist it wrong!

[@johnbennett7772]

Thanks, hope it helped you out!

John Bennett Artist Blacksmith no problem. Really enjoy your videos and the insight you share. I am definitely building one of those reverse twist jigs.

[@sleepingbear7182]

Good video. Have been doing this twist with 1/4" and3/8" square stock for years. But my jig won't handle anything bigger, so will be copying you jig. Thanks

[@agraywolflaska]

nice jig can you do a vid on your center finder you have shown

[@johnbennett7772]

I will see what I can do. Need to make one for 2"+ stock anyway! Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.

I'm new to welding, I have a stick welder. How hot does the crescent wrenches need to Be? Thanks again for making the videos!!!

[@johnbennett7772]

I like to get the area to be welded a red heat.
