So i have taken a grudge against my vice mounted metal folder which has just got in the way for to long and also the way it clamps in the vice like theres a bit missing so rather than moan i thought i'd make my own but make it inset so when i'm not using it its not in the way.......yes i know it's a fantastic idea.

Really pleased with this as it's turned a tool that was useful but seemed to just be in the way to one thats on hand and blends in to the bench. Just another note that the RED KIDS SHOW is separate to the normal channel and thursday uploads will continue as the always have done so don't panic you don't have to have red to see my normal stuff.

hi tot

[@zombiekillingskater]

Mr. Colin Furze, I'm a 21 year old film student in San Diego, USA. I come from a 'farming community' back home in Maryland, USA. Watching your videos makes me sane again whenever I'm stressed out during a film shoot or during midterms and finals in school. But this video, the 'how to make a tools one', was especially epic! It brought me back to the pure ingenuity of my family, friends, and neighbors back home. PLEASE, please make more of these videos, please. You're so full of talent, and I'd hate to see it go to waste in advertisement/cool (but over the top/show-style) inventions! There is absolutely nothing wrong with these videos, but don't forget to stick to your roots! PSA, I visited GB a few weeks ago, and it was *ducking* awesome!

[@hnaja12]

Put some recessed springs on the bolts under the clamp to lift the clamp automatically when the bolts are loosened. That'll make it easier to insert the workpiece.

[@n00bma5ter69]

1:18 - "Alan's metal" cracks me up everytime

[@Frozty]

These are my absolute favorite types of videos. Making something that's super cool and practical. Shoot, if you just filmed yourself tidying up around the shed and making like storage solutions and what not, i would watch the crap out of that series.

[@iwtommo]

Agreed, this style of vid is great. Sure, the hyperactive megabuilds are fun, but theres something about these which are spot on too.Also, 3:30 was hilarious

[@DanteYewToob]

I like how most people probably assume Colin is joking when he says he's a "Tidy Person", but that is actually a pretty immaculate shop. For non-makers or builder types, it might look like a mess... but take my word for it. That is a beautiful, clean, and very functional shop. If you don't believe me, take a look at any older Diresta video and look at Jimmy's NYC shop! Google a few workshops and try to find a shop that's as functional, as well used, but also as clean and orderly as Colins. I have serious respect for Colin. Not just for his creativity and building skills, but for his respect for his workplace and tools and how he maintains a clean and effective work environment. Just the right amount of mess, just the right amount of chaos for inspiration! Way to go, Tidy Guy!

[@kaptein1247]

he has a lot of stuff. But no trash, dust etc its very tidy

[@meandoody678]

You should fit a protractor on each end so you can get closer to doing more precise folds and not just 90°

[@thebigpicture2032]

Once you’ve done a bunch of bends, you can eyeball it pretty easily.

[@ShortyzProductionz]

You have to go past 90° just the slightest amount due to the metal flexing. Let’s say if you went exactly to 90° then it may only be bent to 88°

[@grumpofitzgerald4350]

@Rayan Norval it varies from metal to metal and various thicknesses so it wouldn't make much difference

[@ShortyzProductionz]

Rayan Norval he’d need a different one for each thickness of each type of metal he’s bending

[@milotorres6894]

Combo square works for precision or make gauges for diff angles just slap on leaf or hold down..

[@AndrewBone]

Put the top bit on springs, so as you loosen it it lifts itself up.

[@JonHiddenColey]

Andrew Bone just what I was thinking!

[@AdBul_]

it would have to be inside the steel to have room to compress fully and still tightening to the steel

[@garystinten9339]

Low&Slow Works perhaps smaller springs with a higher compression ratio.

[@peterzingler6221]

Not the problem just drill ot the top section srews guide a bit to give the spring room

[@wild14wayne]

Watched Collin for ages now still amazes me how how God of a engineer he is

[@gixerman01]

It’s crazy how much shop you got packed in there! This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I’ve been working on my shop for about 10 months now. I just picked up a 36in metal brake. I like seeing guys make their own tools. You have a high level of craftsmanship for guy in a small garage.

[@MizzzKitty]

Bench metal folder, never going need my own but just finished watching making one for the last 12 minutes 😄... lol. Every video is awesome Colin. Thanks for the entertainment👍. Love from 🇨🇦✌.

[@malr8189]

I have spent hours looking at videos on how to do the hinges. This is the only one that gives all the exact detail. Would love a workshop like his. Would even wear a tie!

[@aquimanhero6751]

Colin I am also a father and make gadgets but never made a video. I like your attention to detail when it comes to designing / fabricating ingenious, as you call them bits, parts.

[@metlgandalf]

Nice job! Instead of the handle you want to mount on the back, you could simply just bore some holes to grap with your fingers to lift it up.

Great build video, would be interested in seeing more like this! You can never go wrong when 7Daze is in the sound track.

[@JohnnyBarger-sb3yh]

My grandfather made a brake like that. On my grandfather’s he mounted a piece of metal at both ends. This piece of metal was cut at a 45* , 22.5 *and a true 90* and a few other degrees for his work. He was doing commercial heat and air work before it was cool. He did his journeyman and master on Navy War Ship. That old man could make anything and I mean anything.

[@niklar55]

I've looked at a dozen or more benders, and yours is by far the neatest. One thing that made an impression, is that really thick angle etc. functions, thin stuff bends, but in the wrong places! The other was the hinge construction, very effective. Thanks.

[@SquareSquidStudios]

I'd say make a super easy and cheap lathe, but I know I wouldn't be able to make it. I need tools to make the tools I want to make XD

[@SharkyMoto]

ive built my first lathe out of scrap steel, used an angle grinder, drill press and a cheap welder. i mean, could it build formula one engines? propably not, but it was more than good enough for first steps and propably for everything you will ever do in a home shop. "i dont have tools" is a very bad excuse, i mean if you have NO tools, it might be a problem but come on, drill press: 60$, angle grinder 20$ used mma welders are so dirt cheap too. 3 basic tools with those you can build pretty much everything, you just need the will and patience to do so.

[@PeregrineBF]

David Gingery's books are the classic instruction sets for that. Very little needed in the way of tools, and no power tools are strictly necessary. gingerybookstore.com/ or Amazon. And once you've got the basic lathe built you can use it to improve itself.

[@ArcanePath360]

There's plenty on YT for making tools with limited tools, such as turning a drill into a drill press. As you make tools you use these to make even more tools. Just putting a belt sander in a vice turns it into a bench sander. I made a table saw recently and all I had to buy was a circular saw. I used the saw to help make parts of it, strange as that sounds.... EG: I used a piece of wood and clamps to make a temporary fence which helped me to make a good square fence. So basically it built itself!

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

not worth it. you would need a lathe in the first place to make anything worth using. you can find used lathes fairly cheaply. I got a 1946 logan 820 with lots of tooling for 600$. Dont bother building one if you actually want to do real lathe work with it. A decent lathe pays for itself very quickly taking odd jobs and repairing and making tools. The same goes for a mill, got mine very cheap. Now I am building myself a CNC pool cue lathe with them, thats only for cutting tapers and inlay engraving, but to get the spindle I machined anywhere even close to the proper run out had to be done on a lathe then ground.

[@SharkyMoto]

not worth using? and cheap? sure, you can get a 1000 pound lathe "cheap" but if he doesnt have a shop already, where should he put it at? following the gingery books is a very nice, fun and rewarding way to build your own shop, you learn so much by doing this stuff and you become better and better

[@GLAKJack]

Stick a protractor on there, so you can see the angles and such.

[@andries4561]

Hot Wine that's doesn't work because you always have to overbend a bit so it's a matter of practice

[@venbrou]

Well what's stopping you from making a formula for each type of metal to calculate the amount of offset needed? Plug in the thickness and the desired angle, and the formula spits out the number of degrees that you need to overbend?

[@benjaminlord7572]

It would still be useful if you were trying to do a weird angle bend like 17 or 83 degrees, as then you would have a reference point from which to start overbending. Although I'm not sure how often you need non 90 or 45 degree angles

[@dongriffin8494]

It was great to see someone use a saw for a saw and not a grinder with a cutoff wheel. Creative use of the notcher and nice TIG instead of the welds usually seen in a DIY video. It takes tools to make tools. Excellent!

[@TibbsyTheUltimate]

I actually really enjoyed watching you make something totally normal for a change.

[@markbrathwaite9671]

It always amazes me how much tools he has in his workshop

[@monktonlad]

Hi Colin, I like your tube notcher that you used in this project. Do you think that you could design an inexpensive one for everybody to make? I use a hole saw in my pillar drill but would like something that could just be vice mounted. Cheers.

[@gilbus4989]

Very solid piece of gear. Excellent idea the way you mounted it on the table.

[@joshuarosen6242]

I love the crazy inventions but this was an interesting variation on your usual stuff and I'd happily watch more like this.

[@luisjuantunari8227]

Exelente trabajo amigo me encanto saludos desde Argentina

[@leeknivek]

the stiffener on the vertical part (the part that folds) is usually bolted on or off. the 8' brake i use at work is 1/2" with a 1/4" angle stiffener. we rarely use the stiffener. what's more important is having the top angle down brace (the triangle part) that uses threaded rod to put down pressure onto the middle of the clamp, making sure pressure is even all around.

[@leeknivek]

4:35 you want it close because the top end is usually adjustable (such as is on yours, variable down pressure) which makes the gauge thickness not an issue. you want roughly a 1/16" or i guess 1mm from the edge - you will never put metal in there heavy enough to max it out because you'll never be able to bend something that heavy!

[@dirktroost5117]

These are my favourite videos of yours. Then ones were it's just good raw Colin making stuff!

[@ToadVh1]

Love this one, only thing i might do different is add springs to the bolts so it auto lifts when you untighten it.

[@dejayrezme8617]

I've thought you could maybe make the screws "in reverse" so the nut is in the top part screwing up and down, and the bottom is fixed but can turn freely. That way when you screw them up there is a growing gap.

[@ethelmini]

Better as it is so you can unscrew leaving a flat surface to clamp longer of folded bits of sheet on to form boxed corners etc. You could still make it lift, a couple of starlock washers being easiest.

[@dejayrezme8617]

True. Did you mean rounded corners? Does this work if you'd put a pipe on the top?

[@subzeros1451]

I thought of this the other day while at work. So, you know those little toy cars that when you pull them back a spring winds up and when you let go it shoots off? What if you were to take a real cheap car and try to make the same thing but full size? Highly a waste of time, but I believe it would be fun/funny to watch. Maybe make the exhaust shoot out flames or something.

[@GLITCH_-.-]

IF the spring suddenly unwinds uncontrolled it will be mayhem. Total destruction. There's so much force in them. Just look at those tiny springs in garage door openers. They can already kill you.

[@DWeezy62]

That's ridiculously excellent!

At around 12mins you mention adding a handle, why not put a small spring on either side that would just raise the top piece by half a cm instead (to keep it looking streamlined)

[@MichaelMacGyver]

Not hating on your regular videos but this was miles better than most of them, you showed the whole build and test in one video rather than cutting it up into two or three separate videos released over a week or two

[@colinfurze]

its a small project but the ones i break up tend to be ones where the result is something loads of people would want to see but only a few want to see how it was made and you have to wait a week because those projects take ages to build.

[@peepeestorm2178]

But what if you want to bend with a different radius?

[@douglaspurcell4192]

make a bar to go under the sheet metal clamp bar and radius the edge 1/4 round to whatever radius you're looking to get, place it under the clamp and flush with the clamp face. if the metal is thin enough just router a radius on a hardboard edge and use that.
