@@TheMetalistI’ve ran brakes for years, you could make a smaller bottom die for a tighter bend, or even put a smaller piece of angle iron in and your radius will be a lot tighter.

I bought your welding table build plans and it was great step by step. I've been searching the web trying to find a good drill tap set. Can mention what taps you use and counter sink bits you use in your builds. Your fabrication builds are the BEST I've seen. Thanks for sharing your builds with the world 🌍🙌

[@MichaelGraham-i5q]

Beautiful. A real pleasure in watching you work. All the small details, chamfering the holes and edges. Neat tool for breaking the edge on your slots too. Great bender, great work. Thanks.

Oh Mann, einfach geil! Ich bin gerade an 2 Projekten von dir am Nachbauen und jetzt kommt das nächste Ding auf meine Wunschliste. Ich hab schlossern als Hobby angefangen und deine Pläne sind echt dankbar für Noobs wie mich ;) Ich lern echt viel dabei und es macht Spaß. Und vor allem wenn man es selber macht, merkt man erst wie viel Arbeit das ist. Auf jeden Fall, danke für deine tollen Projekte!! Du tust dir da echt was an.

[@TheMetalist]

Vielen Dank 😊 Ja ist ja auch mein Hobby 😁

[@boko.youtube]

Love it - we made a small press for bending inside corners on letters - but it is hydraulic - this is a great project! I will use it as inspiration for the next build for sure!

[@matthiaslange392]

Allein die gleit-Führung mit Gewinden drin ist eine super-Idee. Da könnte man mit extrem wenig Aufwand eine Rollen-Biegemaschine draus bauen: 2 Rollen anstelle des "V-Amboss" und eine Rolle statt des beweglichen "Hammers" (keine Ahnung wie ich's ausdrücken soll). Dazu zusätzliche Gewinde in den Grundkörper in der Nähe des Hebels. Da könnte man dann eine Halterung mit Schraube als Press-Spindel befestigen um die bewegliche Rolle Richtung fester Rollen zu drücken.

[@TheMetalist]

Vielen Dank 😊 Ja das stimmt dachte mir auch schon sowas bloß die Idee mit dem gewinde die hatte ich noch nicht 😅 aber da kann man so viel verschiedene Matrizen bauen. Vl mach ich noch eine teil zwei für in dem ich mal alle Ideen verwirkliche 😅

I don't know where to start. I have been a fabricator machinist, tinkerer since a child. Now 64 employed in a job I enjoy going to because of my ability to repair, replace, modify parts and mechanisms to bring the companies vital equipment back to life again. At 16 started an apprenticeship in England. Five years later released on the world as a millwright. This is the point from which I view this man work. Almost made me shed a tear. All that I learned, all that I have to fight against, in comments of "Oh there he goes can't have sharp edge" "you don't have to do all that". This incredibly skilled man. Using mostly tools available to all home hobbyists. Vindicated that which gives me, my identity. Skill, experience, care, no short cuts File it smooth, break that edge, a hole isn't round until it's been chamfered. Used to be the norm. Trying to pass anything on is a near impossible task. Here I saw a man who picked a machine he's been thinking of for a while. Saw mechanisms around him, hmmm! That would work for ?. Prepared and set to work producing a thing of both form and function. Paint an option. Sometimes leaving it exposed. Gives it that oily rag clean. That has its own pleasing finish. Damn! I wish that cursing was allowed . This punctuation make comments more real. Thankyou I'm so f*&cking moved. By your abilities, and commitment to give appearance and ease of function to your work. It can still be kept alive.

[@AndrossUT]

Bro he sized up dimensional holes with a hand drill.

[@MichaelGraham-i5q]

@@AndrossUT Yep! There's that practiced skill. Doesn't just offer the drill to the punch mark. Checks the drill for perpendicular the pushes through.

[@AndrossUT]

@@MichaelGraham-i5q it's fake

[@AndrossUT]

@@MichaelGraham-i5q you lose perpendicular when you resize holes with a drill like that. You also lose dimensional circulatory. Why are you trolling?

[@MichaelGraham-i5q]

@@AndrossUT Hey there. I read and gave thought to your reply. When drilling and tapping hole the tolerances when understood. It becomes clear that maximum thread / effort in cutting is at 75% thread formation. The closer to 100% thread form you want to achieve the effort required and risk of tap breakage increases that it becomes irrational to attempt this for a minimal ( off hand 10% increase holding). Therefore if drilling with a 5/16" Size drill for a 3/8" 16 thread thread is a leaning to slightly larger hole within the 75% aim. If using the power drill . Perpendicular eyeballing of the hole to be formed through what appears to be 3/8". My conservative estimate of drill length about 4 in. This says 3
