As an experienced sheet metal fabricator, I can add some things:
- Use a nylon hammer or at least hold a piece of wood between your hammer and the workpiece.
- If you can grind a slight relief angle onto the inside tool, that will help form a 90° degree bend without it springing back. Steel almost works at exact 90°, but something like stainless steel or brass will need a few degrees overbending so it springs back to 90°.
- Aluminium doesn't like tight bends because it's not very tough. If you need a tight bend, make sure the bend is perpendicular to the rolling direction. Be careful hammering it down with a steel hammer, because it's easy to squeeze and become too thin. Again, use a nylon hammer or piece of wood in between your hard hammer and workpiece.
This is great info! I am just learning so knowledge from someone experiences with lil tips that you tend to only learn from experience is much appreciated !
With the score and bend method do you score the inside of the bend or the outside?
@@kevinmullins4919 If you score it on the inside, the score will be hidden away after bending and the outside surface of the bend is less prone to tear under tension while bending.
@@MrSaemichlaus Thanks!!!
Hi, if i want to bend a 0.8mm thick ss sheet to a tube shape, is it possible to do it with only nylon hammer and nothing else? I never done metal work before and the only tool i have is nylon hammer and i was wondering if 0.8mm is thin enough to shape by hand
“Life is harder without your blood.” Actual facts, people. Actual facts.
"Metal remembers all your mistakes"
Very true.
Well done! My late father was a tool and die maker but never did his metal work at home, so I never picked up these tricks. He'd have appreciated your clear, methodical approach, as do I. I'm confident I'll be able to bend the 1" aluminum strip that I'm working on -- with practice, of course!
I'm lucky to have a sheet metal brake in my engineering proto shop, but I LOVE videos that show how to get around the need for such tools. Well done sir.
Brilliant video, straight to the point, clear and focused. Thanks.
i appreciate how clearly you communicated these instructions, thank you.
Really nice to see a well-shot, clearly enunciated video, not done with a hand held phone camera! I expect you even had a script, unlike many others, so you knew what you were going to say. Excellent work!
Excellent! Thanks for the various methods.
Exactly what I was looking for - Thank you....Very clearly explained.
Thank you so much! I was hoping to find an easy way to make a bracket for a piece of radio equipment. Now I can make it nicely.
Thank you for the information!
Excellent Video! Thanks!
Well done and thank you for this helpful tutorial!! ...clear demonstration of methods accompanied by good discussion of 'whys' as well as the 'how-tos'! I'd been keen to see a demonstration video on how to make metal saddles for attaching pipes to flat surfaces?
Awesome instructions! Exactly what I needed to solve my DIY project.
Excellent and most useful presentation. Thank you!
Great! I needed this video. I'm making a compost bin with thin sheet metal. THANK YOU!
Excellent information and very intelligent method of presentation. Thank you very much ... this content is exactly what I needed to fabricate a replacement panel for my RV.
Thanks. Exactly what I needed for a potting bench.
Very well done with great descriptions.
Thank you, I truly appreciate your support.
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. A+.
Thank you! that is one of the best comments I've ever had.
Excellent advice. I just got a whole bunch of ideas! Many thanks.
Excellent ideas .
Excellent! Thank you!
Well Done. A thinking mans video. Well thought out,very good descriptions and and demonstrations of the different techniques. You've found a new fan. Subscribed.
low-key GREAT video!...much thanks.
Great demonstration thanks
Metalwork became interesting to me from the time our school shop teacher demonstrated a bar folder in 1953. TH-cam shows some extraordinary projects by people who are master metal workers. I rate this video also A+.
A very useful video . Thank you
Good tips. Thanks.
Excellent video. Very helpful as I was searching for guidance on how best to bend a piece of copper, but learned so much more from your examples in using sheet metal. Appreciate your professionalism.
Sheet metal never forgives - when it's done, it's done! Good instruction!
Great video, thank you for publishing this.
Very interesting and the first video of a "how to bend sheet metal without a brake" with no welding at all. I will try your method, Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for this video. Very informative.
Super information, very well delivered. Thanks.
Very good idea
Thanks sir
This is a great video. Concise!
very helpful, thankyou
Very helpful overview of bending metal. I'm trying to create a product prototype and had absolutely no idea how to shape sheet metal. I assumed I'd need to apply heat. Thanks for explaining different methods, pros and cons of each, and tips for metalwork in general.
A london wheel is the method for shaping metal you can do it by hand on a block and start with a wooden hammeran old butchers block is ideal to start the london wheel has various rollers and sometimes called dies if you can find a good second hand one grab it they are getting hard to find though you ca get new ones look at internet and machinery sales and buy a good set f proper panel hammers and dollys and get some training a nite course at tafe is good and remember heat changes the mollecular structure of metal and it can harden and tear when it cools regards 😊
Useful for a piece of rolled flashed I needed to bend, thank you!
Extremely helpful thank you
I like this! Good, practical advice. Keep it up! Subscribed!
Thanks, these methods worked great, now I can bend sheet metal at home with common tools!
Also found this very useful, and validated my idea I could do this by hand. Glad scoring the fold point is good. I'm only making an overhang for the dog house to slow rain from getting in.
Thanks, Good tips.
Scoring before bending is a must! Instead of screwdriver you're better off using the circular pizza cutter. Works like a charm. Make sure to dull the blade down - there should be no sharp edge left. It should be smooth and rounded edge which is perfect for scoring metal. Otherwise it may cut through the sheet. Another trick - put rubber/EVA gym mat under the sheet while scoring.
Thx... Score the inside or the outside of the bend?
@@southparklion Inside. You're literally creating a shallow groove (crease line) that helps metal to fold in a straight line. Imagine a piece of carton paper that you depress with a side of a ruler. Same principle.
Thank you again!
Very clear and helpful
GREAT TIPS THANK YOU
Well done. To the point and every word advice.
Great Job Thanks
very good explanation.
thanks!
Very professionally, well done video without wasting time showing off your dog or whatever like most youtube videos. Excellent!
Thanks! I'd rather waste peoples time giving useless information rather than exploit dogs for the purpose of the emotion manipulation of the audience.
Any ideas for adding hem outside circle?
Thank you for your a great tutorial.
NICE
This is exactly what I needed
Solid, useful video, thanks.
Thank you so much for this. Saved me a ton!
Thank you for a very useful video.
You just got a new subscriber! I have planned on getting into sheet metal fab for some car projects and other things around the house with minimal tools and your channel is amazing! Time to watch all of your videos now👍
Thanks! sounds like some interesting projects!
Great resource and very informative and well done video
You are very good. Thanks
excellent video thanks for sharing!!!!
Good idea frnd, since i don't have enough space in my room to make a brake and don't have a complete tools to make a brake. Your ideas are great very good when lack of tools to create a brake. I was planning to make a metal sheet casing for my power bank casing because i can't found an exact measure of a case in the market, so your idea is very good. 👏👏👏👏🙂
Amazing job sir
Excellent! Another DIY skill to keep in the toolbox :-)
GREAT!! I was considering using wood and now I'm NOT. Excellent detail and concise. Thank You.
Very nice and easy.
super informative video - thanks
Very nice explanation
video - very nicely done...very well done. tips - much thanks...thumbs way up...
Very helpful, I was able to make a heat shield out of 1/16” anodized aluminum, which included four bends. I used a hard rubber hammer to get sharp right angle bends.
Thanks for posting. I am bending sheet aluminium for a beehive roof. This is just the information I needed.
Wanted to make a shelf of sorts to add some space to set things over my small guitar amp, found a door kick plate since the size and thickness were right. I figured this is how I would do it, just wanted to make sure. Great video
very helpful thanks
No workshop, no steel angle iron, no clamps.
But I have to bend a return on an Aluminum facia on site.
Solution? 2 small pieces of ply, score line with screwdriver, 2 screws through ply-facia-ply, bend-up, job-done.
Great advice!
Thank you for your comment.
Just used this technique and it worked perfectly, thanks!
Only thing I would add is that a put small piece of timber against the aluminium and hit that with the hammer instead of the bare metal, this gave me a really nice even bend without any dents.

@@valentinlishkov9540 What the heck is this???
What about a rubber hammer???
this is a perfect video from a pedagogical standpoint
Great video , thanks for taking the time to do this. Would I be able to use these methods for 3 or 4mm medium steel to make shelf brackets do you think ?
Regards scott
Really good stuff!
Thanks! Straightforward common-sense instruction. This was a really useful video!
P.S. - my new favorite TH-cam fabrication quote: “Metal remembers all of your mistakes and doesn’t easily forgive.” (Reminds me of my wife’s best friend!!)
Thank you, I came back to watch it again. Then scored some 0.04" aluminum for 90 degree bends.
Used a straight edge and a 5 1/2" circular saw set to about 30% of total thickness of aluminum sheet.
Folds easy, looks great!
Does that mean you didn't use a brake?
Very good video. I'm looking forward to your other videos. Thank you
I used a roller to bend some very hard 2019-T8 .020" sheet, 8 feet long, and I definitely prefer it to hammering. I bent DOWN, using my hip to help the metal bend. I think next time I'll make the tool much long, so I can wrap both hands around it and REALLY push. Annealing the sheet would probably help too, but I already . had it clamped up when I saw your video. Thanx, mate.
Another great video Jonathon. You should have your own TV show
Nice informative video good job
Excellent. I especially appreciate the roller idea.
Thank you, this was useful
very much helpful
What a kick-ass video
I usually just deliver this stuff, I never work with it that often, but today I'm trying to make a custom piece for a barbecue with very minimum tools. I want to bend approximately a quarter of an inch around the sides of the sheet metal to make a lip. This video gave me some better thought for process wish me luck.
This gave me a good idea for a project for growth led lamps I'm building. Thank you!
Thanks, just what I was looking for!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Incredible. Thanks for posting.
Roller method looks great.
Thanks for the vid it was verry helpfull A++
Bending sheet metal can be a pain. Thanks for offering experienced insights.
Nice job. Clear, concise , no stammering ie:um...ummm....ummmm (drives me crazy:) I'll be trying some of your methods. Thanks for posting
Great video!
Great video
