You have a clear, natural pedagogical style to your videos. Thanks so much for posting. You really deserve your own primetime show on the velocity channel.
Was a little confused about what the cheater was used for right up until you hooked the tape measure into the cut. Boom instantly made sense. Dude you are a genius
Hey Justin, I'm a lazy youtuber in terms of comments but just had to log in to thank you for all your videos. Straight, no BS approach, no selling every 2 minutes (cough cough I'm looking at you several big youtube welders), just practical advise and good old manual work. I'm actually starting my own sheet metal seat pan right now after watching your video. Thanks and keep them coming.
your rules of thumb are killing it, man ! I am from Germany - we had to learn 3.5 years - but somehow everybody forgot to teach us such simple stuff, one can work with THANK YOU!
You did an amazing job at braking this down for us. I was ready to buy a bender and some pipe, but after watching this video I realize I was about to buy the wrong bender and would have wasted a lot of time and money. Ultimately I'm going to hand this off to a professional for now and focus my time on other more manageable aspects of my project. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
You really broke it down perfectly, without oversimplifying things and explaining how a tape measure works, but covering everything necessary to get started bending tube correctly. Thanks, man!
Seriously, thanks for doing this series. I am a total newb at bending and just bought the JD2 model 32 hydraulic bender because I am building a mud truck. With the cost of steel right now, I really would like to avoid costly mistakes. You do a great job explaining this stuff and it obviously took quite a bit of time to do this series. But without this help, I would be lost. So again, thanks a bunch for doing these.
Fabricating can be very daunting for most people not unless they come across videos like these..(Great Video Bro) From english wheels to weldings... now it's time I go tube bending and notching. Learning is free Life is good Thanks Man Wish you the best
Duuuddde! I am an engineer and I can tell you ...you have a gift!!! Seriously! Your teaching skills ... Off the chizzain!!! So clear, and you obviously ain't fakin it. You KNOW your stuff !!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom bro. Bless you.
I moved, but there were no kids in that neighborhood. I know if I lived next door to me I would be hanging out in my shop all day haha. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking the time to produce really good content! Tube bending has always been kind of a black art for me and you really made it clearer than anything else I've seen or read. Keep up the good work!
Very well presented most fellows that are doing videos seem to be in the habit of throwing not only their tools down on the bench when they're finished with them but also everything they pick up for their belongs to themselves are a customer you handle your tools and equipment like a true Craftsman
you make this so much simpler than I could have imagined. I have spent much time trying to figure this out and in a very short time your explications have clarified every issue I had. Thank you.
I have been a blacksmith for quite a long time and it's always been a bit of luck to get bends in the right place, your cheater may well have revolutionized my pipe bending!!!! thank you very much :)
Dude, you're good. You obviously know your stuff, but you have a way of explaining it that makes sense. I'm inheriting a late 60's International Scout and I'm going to rebuild it and trying to think of how I want to do it. Found your channel looking at TIG welding and found all the other videos that are gold.
As a person who didn't know the difference between pipe, tube, tubes I found your video educational and helpful in understanding the fundamentals. Tube is used in structural design. Pipe for fluids and gasses.
You Sir, are an outstanding instructor! I have little practical use for your subject but thoroughly enjoyed your video, which was suggested to me by TH-cam. Now I just need to come up with a project and some bucks for tools 👍
Dude your videos top anybodys out there, i have done alot since watching and learning and really dont bother looking around anymore for 'info-videos'. Thanks for putting these out, so helpfull
great stuff man and the best advice ever is to just spend the extra money and buy a tube bender , main thing to remember is that pipe is used for its internal capacity hence water pipe, gas pipe, oil pipe. and tube is used for its external strength, such as a roll cage, or scaffolding tubes for external strength
Thankyou. Im thinking of doing a muffler delete myself and wasnt sure what pipe I need. I think I'll bend my own and do it. This video is a really good reference for me, Thank you.
I couldn't agree more brother. Saved me days/weeks with his knowledge, just finished my twin pro-mod 88MM for my mustang. If you are ever in Jacksonville,FL I'll let you drive my 1,472HP street Mustang out.
Thanks for the information. Even the pipe vs tubing and the difference of the benders. You saved me a lot of headache while I'm about to build my own brush guard.
I remembered watching this series months ago. Well, I just used this video for reference in buying my JD2 model 32 bender and dies. Thanks for the awesome vid!
I have to say your videos are amongst the very rare ones that have all positive comments and feedback. Almost always plenty of negative comments or people trash talking (especially on welding videos). Great job man!
Material length = Centerline circumference of bend arc. C = R2π/4+Ø (4.5" * 2 * 3.14 = 28.26"/4 = 7.065", then add one diameter (1.5" = Ø) for tolerance, 7.065" + Ø = 8.565" material used. Example for a 4.5 " radius using 1.5" Tube OD ( plus tear/ min. tolerance): 10° bend = R2π/36 = 0.785" + tear 20° bend = R2π/12 = 1.570" + tear 30° bend = R2π/12 = 2.355" + tear 45° bend = R2π/8 = 3.533" + tear 60° bend = R2π/6 = 4.710" + tear 90° bend = R2π/4 = 7.065" + tear 120° bend = R2π/3 = 9.420" + tear 180° bend = R2π/2 = 14.13" + tear
Thanks for making the maths easy to get. Metal maths is sometimes like some Jedi secret code. Watching your videos is like watching a comicbook movie, there is always so much to find in the background.
You deserve so many more subs than you have man. The info of your content is amazing. You're a great teacher man. You and jody are my go to when it comes to welding how-tos. I can watch chuckE. I just really like your way of teachingg a lot more! You deserve every view youve earned!!
Just subscribed, I thought you looked familiar, and then remembered your video on how to notch tubing, I don't know how many times I watched that video, but I finally decided to try notching some old chunks of exhaust tubing. The first 2 really looked horrible, then I took my time to get a cleaner radius. Excellent work, and you are a great teacher.
TFS - I used to say this but was corrected by an old bloke who made a lot of sense... He said "If you practice and practice but are not practicing to do it perfectly then you won't achieve perfection". Therefore the better way to say it is "Perfect practice makes perfect" Just a thought. Great vids and you are a really good teacher.
Might not hurt to keep this in mind too: "θ x (π/180) x r" where θ is your angle in degrees, and r is your radius. That can give estimates too when jotting ideas on paper and popping numbers into the calculator. Shop class has a different way than trigonometry class, but results should be pretty close to each other either way. (Keeping in mind the centerline thing. Likely some error just given nature of materials, and the real world isn't perfect - so the shop class way may have some advantage there.)
Great videos! There is a formula to calculate the tubing used which is CLRxDOB(degree of bend) x.01745= tubing used in a given bend, regardless of diameter, or degree of bend. But to figure it out as shown in the video is an awesome way to physically do it, and have a nice tool for quickly calculating bends. Well done!
+Justin Terrell Thanks for posting the formula. I was going to get into the really deep math on it, but I figured that would make a better vid for later. Thanks for watching!
I have looked alot tube bending videos in youtube, but your videos are by far best, good explaination, good examples and really good stuff!!! Thank you very much for it :) I allways looking your new videos.
This is one of those deals where i was thinking it might be easier to bend my own exhaust for once instead of welding mandrels, until i realise how much it costs to buy and how much space you need to keep a decent tube bender. Great channel though. Subbed.
Hi, I went to the steel yard today to check out tube prices. I realized there's mechanical tube and DOM tube. DOM tube is a lot more expensive. Which do you prefer? I was wondering if the welded seam in mechanical tube created a problem in the bender? You could almost buy three times the amount of mechanical tube for one DOM tube. Thanks again!
I mounted my bender on some four foot long 2x10 boards, doubled up for strength. Anchored it through the boards from underneath with countersunk lag bolts. I park my car tire on one end and bend at the other! The bender on it's wood base slides under some shelves for easy storage also.
How do I make an "S" bend, with the two bends close to each other? Is there a specific type of tube bender that is ideal for this type of bend? (7/8" for an aircraft control stick)
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am wondering if you do exhaust bending with that bender. I heard exhaust called pipe and tubing -which is the best description and what type of bender is used for it if not the one in the vidieo?
Yes and no. I discussed exhaust use in Part 3 of Tube Bending Basics. Exhaust is referred to as "pipe" but it is actually tube. It is also tube size. The proper bender for exhaust tubing is a draw type bender. Some are also done on a compression bender (which smashes the center of the bend). The compression style bender is simply known as an exhaust bender.
I like the production and explanations as provided. Very clear. Examples explained well. Look forward to view your other submissions. Again, very well done.
Sir, it's very knowledgful for beginners. I appreciate your way of teaching practically. Bending examples in practical support for learners and creativity of mind interesting ❤. Thanks
haha when i watch fab videos from america is a mind fuck trying to work out imperial lol sounds so complicated. nice video's by the way, by far the best quality filming and explanations. i was watching you make a harness bar, when you measure from point to point like when you were measuring the bolt holes inside car, try holding your tape on say 100mm or (whatever that is in inches) instead of on the end of the tape, more accurate. bit of a chippie trick here in australia.
It was complicated to learn. Fractions are a pain to work with even though they are what I learned and use all the time. I really respect the metric system for it's simplicity, but good luck trying to get the rest of us to accept and switch to it. haha. 100mm is 3.9 inches (we round up to 4 inches if not machining something).
To calculate the material needed for a bend can be accurately calculated using this formula. Radius x number of degrees x .01745. For example how much pipe is needed for a 90 degree bend using 2” with a 3 inch radius die. Radius 3 x 90 degrees x .01745 gives you 4.71 inches of pipe.
So many folks , once they see and understand what a bend deduction is, really get woke up to the basics when they have that ah-ha moment and get intrested in the craft is the best time you can see if they are gonna get it or not
Im w brian b. Amazing vids.. hooked on em all. Ive done projects in the past but your videos are making my skills soo much better ! Thanks for all the time youve put into the video and sharing you skills set !
Just found your videos and I'm binge watching all of them, I plan on building my own tube winch bumper this summer and your videos are really helping. Keep it up.
Thanks for this series i am a welder fabricator and i do a lot of handrails, we have always used 90* elbows and the owner of the shop just bought a hydraulic pipe bender so i have to figured out my stretch per degrees ..

The hydraulic pipe bender is more suitable for the bending of the steel pipe on the mud paddle truck.

haha when i watch fab videos from america is a mind fuck trying to work out imperial lol sounds so complicated. nice video's by the way, by far the best quality filming and explanations. i was watching you make a harness bar, when you measure from point to point like when you were measuring the bolt holes inside car, try holding your tape on say 100mm or (whatever that is in inches) instead of on the end of the tape, more accurate. bit of a chippie trick here in australia.
It was complicated to learn. Fractions are a pain to work with even though they are what I learned and use all the time. I really respect the metric system for it's simplicity, but good luck trying to get the rest of us to accept and switch to it. haha. 100mm is 3.9 inches (we round up to 4 inches if not machining something).

matt nev I like that saying! I think I'm going to use it around here haha.
I'm so glad you put the tube inside the pipe. I wanted to do it so bad as soon as you rolled them on frame
Stone's Garage -DFW Ha, yeah it's kind of important to see that actually happen. I do the same thing for the classes here at the shop.
To calculate the material needed for a bend can be accurately calculated using this formula. Radius x number of degrees x .01745. For example how much pipe is needed for a 90 degree bend using 2” with a 3 inch radius die. Radius 3 x 90 degrees x .01745 gives you 4.71 inches of pipe.
Yep, that’s calculate arc length of the material
So many folks , once they see and understand what a bend deduction is, really get woke up to the basics when they have that ah-ha moment and get intrested in the craft is the best time you can see if they are gonna get it or not

Your teaching is very understandable compared to other videos I’ve watched you actually know your stuff an don’t have just an idea on it
Bro is very educative and relaxing to listen to. Inputs are solid 👍
Good explanation with clear reasoning. Like your work.
Im w brian b. Amazing vids.. hooked on em all. Ive done projects in the past but your videos are making my skills soo much better ! Thanks for all the time youve put into the video and sharing you skills set !
Always glad to know people are learning and improving their own skills. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info. I had to learn this all the hard way. Wish I had seen this video about 15 years ago.
+MrFrontenginedragste No problem. Sometimes I wish I had something like this when I started out years ago as well haha.
Mate, have to agree with Brian B, your videos are awesome very detailed and highly descriptive. You are very good at describing and teaching.
Just found your videos and I'm binge watching all of them, I plan on building my own tube winch bumper this summer and your videos are really helping. Keep it up.
+Joshua Crandall Awesome! Good luck on the project!
Thanks for this series i am a welder fabricator and i do a lot of handrails, we have always used 90* elbows and the owner of the shop just bought a hydraulic pipe bender so i have to figured out my stretch per degrees ..
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you so much for your video, as a novice I found it very helpful!!
