  • In this video I make a acrylic bending tool, super useful for getting professional looking bends on plexiglass pieces. This thing is really easy to make and super useful for PC modding, which is what I mostly do. If you have any questions I didn't answer in the video go ahead and ask in the comments and I'll find you an answer!

    List of tools and materials used in the video (amazon affiliate links):
    - MDF (or any kind of board) should be found locally, I got mine at home depot. I used two 2'x2' square boards.
    - Wood screws also found locally, must have flat tops.
    - Aluminum u-channel also found locally, half inch square works best

    Thanks for the shout out! Loved the video, really handy tutorial, especially given how overpriced acrylic bending wires tend to be.

    "When it is bendable - just bend it" Wiser words have never been uttered

    Very helpful.
    For others watching, suggest you pre-drill holes if you use MDP as it can split if your screws are close to the edge to the board.

    Retired physics teacher here, and this is an outstanding little device! Perfect for building my squirrel feeders and keep the birds out at the same time! Great job lad.

    this is pretty cool! one thing I'd add is a protractor though, hot glued or something on the side, with a screw or nail to show at what angle you've bent.

    Thank you for the Vid! I have now built a similar machine but minus the extra baseboard, I just used a 3" ply strip and 4 small ply squares, 2 on each side. I also bought the recommended springs but found them way overpowered and strong, so I used a much softer spring from an Aldi box of assorted springs and it works fine, thank you again :)

    Fantastic, going to make me one, thinking off incorperating the power supply into the unit, also add in a bend stop so you can set the angle you want to stop at, your an inspiration

    I just got a Cricut Maker about a month ago and it's been so friggin awesome!!! Def makes my Mods easier and look so much more professional for mods for my channel!!! We're saving up for a house, we anticipate closing around this time next year, but I can not wait till we do. I'm going to build a giant shed sectioned off into 3 sections. My Studio/Editing Workstation - Work Area for all my Tools/An Area to paint - and an area for other stuff like lawn mowers and general storage. I can not wait!!!! Dude when are you going to start posting videos again??? We miss you man!!!! You've been such a huuuge inspiration to me for modding and starting a channel!!

    I just stumbled across your video while looking up acrylic bender, and I really like your design a lot. You mentioned looking up Bit-tech's TH-cam channel, saying it wasn't going to be small for very long, but he hasn't uploaded anything for 9 months. He's not going to grow without uploading.
