I make a Twisted Steel Rebar Industrial Style Handle - MIG Welding Project.

I make a Twisted Steel Rebar Industrial Style Handle. I love the look of industrial furniture and all the decor that comes with it, and this handle has the look I like. I hope you enjoy my video of the metal twist handle, it was a lot of fun to make a nice MIG welding project.
The wide flat bar is 6mm thick, 50mm wide, and 225 long. The small flat bar is 6mm thick 32mm wide and 57mm long. The rebar is 7mm rebar. The distance between the two uprights is 145mm.
The main tools used, are a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, and bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

Note: When you bend metal/rebar, you naturally weaken it. Bending it cold will normally cause fine cracks, and it may even break if you put enough strain on the rebar or bend it in the same place too many times. Do not rely on cold-bent steel/rebar to support a load. I love the look of industrial furniture and all the decor that comes with it, and this shelf bracket has the look I like. A nice MIG Welding Project using rebar

I'm into armwrestling at the moment and I made my first table out of common tubing and such but had the idea of using rebar and twisting it for the legs and you gave me an idea! Why not make the handles for the table out of the same twisted rebar with a metal knob on top! Thanks for the cool content sir!

Daughter likes to collect old used railroad spikes. Likes to paint them and give away to neighbors. They needed to be cleaned before paint and didn’t want to wire brush. Threw them in cement mixer with sand blast media and tumbled for few hours. Worked perfectly for smaller rusted steel.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

That is a nice simple way to do it, and while it is happening you can be doing other things, instead of being on the wire brush, thank you for your comment.
