You're the, "FIRST" UTUBER WITH A SHOW THAT HAS REFERENCE UTUBE AS A GO TO SOURCE OF Valuable info they use to learn DIY hands on skills/whatever...others stumble along wasting time when the could have used this wonderful resource...Hope Momma doing well, tanks for sharing
Right On Tom! 👍🙌 Yes TH-cam is an amazing resource! Even if it’s something I know how to do there might be a better way or some useful tips. I’ve learned so much on TH-cam. Mama cat is doing really good! She’s fixed now and enjoying retirement! 😄 Lots of chasing squirrels 🐿!!
wow wow wow...I learned so much from this video, thank you so much... I had a bender like your I bought 24 years ago, never thought to mark out in 1 inch increments like you did, I just tried doing in one shot...... best wishes from Florida, Paul
Hey right on! 👍 That’s cool. It’s not the fastest method but slow and steady wins the race! 🙌 Thanks for watching and hope your project comes out great.
That’s a great way to do those bends without having a very expensive bender. Nice that you showed how to generate the radius you needed. With expensive tube benders you need the radius dies required and they too are expensive. My only comment would be to have an air over hydraulic cylinder. Sure saves time and effort. BTW Harbor Freight I believe makes a nice knob to open the valve. I made my own before I found out you can buy them. However being a toolmaker it was just another fun little project. Great Video though !
For marking steel I like to sharpen the tip on a 3 point file with a grinder and make it into a scribe, then use the scribe to scratch the mark directly into the steel. Eliminates the problems with thick paint markers, which can lead to errors in your final product. I think the machining industry term is "tolerance stacking". If you've ever plotted multiple azimuths on a map with a thick pencil line, all the differences add up. I learned from experience to use a mechanical pencil to save myself a lot of walking and/or getting lost. A lot of skills you learn overlap into other disciplines.
Very nice build. Lots of cool tricks in the fabrication world. I've been working on making a Hossfeld bender. I have the frames done and now working on some of the tooling.
Oh right on! 👍 That is great. Those benders are awesome. I used to work in a shop that had one. All the amazing things that can be made. There are some good old instructional videos on TH-cam about the hossfeld bender.
Hi Jon ☺, neat job my friend, and looked right on when fitted, those pipe benders make easy work of it. Good to see you again, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Awesome project Jon! I went to buy a small piece of Black Pipe yesterday and was shocked at the price! They must think it's Brass! Crazy... Great stuff
great video. I have been thinking about cutting a viewing port so I can more easily measure the angle of my bend. Don't think it will compromise the strength of the bender. What do you think?
Hi Jed! That’s a good question because it is kind of an art to hunting down tools and shop supplies. There are a few different categories. Auctions are good but not as good as they used to be since they are all online now. It used to be that you could get a good deal but not people online are bidding more than the items are worth. Craigslist, offer up, and Facebook marketplace are all good resources for tools. There are different Craigslist apps that help to search for items and get alerts. Ebay can be good! Look for tools under many different names. Also misspelling words can bring up good deals. If in the north east there are great swap meets/ flea markets like Jack Town and Elephants Trunk. Word of mouth is always good. Sometimes a shop is going out of business or selling some tools. Good to check in with local shop guys. I hope this helps! It would be a good video for me to make. Right On! 🙌, Jon Crane
Please.. I could not find a pipe bending machine like this in our country.. So the idea is to make one like it and I would like to know what is the distance between the holes for each pipe and its diameter please.
Is it possible to make 2 bends next to each other in opposite directions? Eg straight line to a step and continue straight I’m wanting to make a subframe basically there’s a hoop on the end which needs to narrow down towards the back where the lower control arm brackets and rear subframe mounting points are, I’ve bought a used industrial upto 3” bender that is horizontal and has tripod legs… thing weighs a ton not literally but you know what I mean, only paid £100 for it, spent more on the t45 tubing
Hello.. If I want to bend a round steel tube at 90' in a hydraulic iron bender, what is the distance between the two pulleys for each pipe Thank you.♥️
Im completely torn between the more rugged ethic DIY cheap way for clout, or just dropping 2k+ for baller status lol... i only have an off road bumper planned for now, but if i buy a nice one ill probably open the door for more projects...
My harbor freight bender leaks oil everywhere if I put it on its side, even though it has feet for that exact purpose, and the manual says it will do that and to NOT lay it dow. What happened? Is the new version worse?
Yes, mine leaks a little too! There is a modification that can be made by adding a tube inside. It makes it so the Jack can also be used upside down. Perhaps I’ll dig into it and make a video! 🙌
very nicely explained how to use a bender, 90 percent of the video is explained incorrectly, I believe that you need to know how to handle this bender and most of us don't know...
This is the only video where somone shows what they're doing and shows no kinks at all , best video on pipe bending
Right On! 🙌 Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it!

Good demo, should've capped the ends... Agree with fastcap, DeWalt anchor bolts, easy pease... Nice job..
kinked a few top rails, thanks for this clip, it saved me from wasting more money.
wow wow wow...I learned so much from this video, thank you so much...
I had a bender like your I bought 24 years ago, never thought to mark out
in 1 inch increments like you did, I just tried doing in one shot......

Thank you best video..Papua New Guinea❤
Very good tutorial, I am about to make my first tube bending project and I this method will also work with aluminum tubing. Thank you for sharing...
Hey right on! 👍 That’s cool. It’s not the fastest method but slow and steady wins the race! 🙌 Thanks for watching and hope your project comes out great.
Followed your method to build my railing. Thank you, it worked perfectly
Best video I've seen to date. Helped me alot . Thank you
Hey Right On! 🙌 Thats great to hear and I and I appreciate the comment!
Made hundreds of feet of handrails back in the day but it was always using fittings, never used a bender but it looks like fun.
Right On Raw Bacon! 🥓 Those fittings are nice! This bender is a little crude but with a little persuasion it gets the job done ✅🙌

Right On! 🙌 Thanks and that’s a great tip about closing the valve with a knob. I will look at Harbor Freight or make one. Thanks for the comment!
@@RightOnJonCrane 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic method! Thank you for demonstrating it.
Excellent work mate very helpful indeed!
Right On! 🙌 Thanks for the nice comment!!
Beautiful shop, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Hopefully, my bullbar on my project International Scout 2 turns out well.
Grits from Poland. Excellent job.

Why would you overcomplicate this? Leave it to metal workers to give people advice.

Great looking railing. And made for life!
Your level of precison amazes me. I am so impatient, no doubt i would rush thing and try and make that 90 in one shot. Outstanding work. Cheers
Right On Joe! 🙌👍✨ Thanks for watching. I appreciate the kind compliments! Hope all is great in Florida! 🍊
Very nice work! How did u conclude that you needed 15 pumps… was it just trial and error for that pipe or some kind of formula?
Best video and only one!!!!!
Nicely done Bud!! Jon Crane will figure it out!!☻
Right On Roadking! 👍✨ No more slipping on those stairs!
Great tips in this video!
Very enjoyable and interesting. Thanks for showing us.
Right On Tony! 🙌👍 Thanks for watching!
Nice job !
Real nice job Jon. Nice demo with the bender.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Right On Randy! 👍 I’ve got a backlog of lots of videos. Just need to sit and edit. Lots of work in the shop lately.
Thanks for the tips (nice welds too)
Hi Jon ☺, neat job my friend, and looked right on when fitted, those pipe benders make easy work of it. Good to see you again, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Right On Stuart! Always good to hear from you. 👍🙌
Nice bend 👍
Right On! 🙌Thanks!
Awesome project Jon! I went to buy a small piece of Black Pipe yesterday and was shocked at the price! They must think it's Brass! Crazy... Great stuff
Right On John! Thanks! 👍🙌 Yeah steel prices are way up! That cheap black pipe ain’t cheap anymore. 😳 At least plywood isn’t $110 for a 1/2 sheet!
9:0 5, love that Wells Saw
Another nice job...just need more...🖖
Right On Chuck! 🙌👍 Right! 🖐🖐
Looks great!
Very nice job Jon. Your welding looked great! Right On Jon!!👍😎🇺🇸
Right On Roger! 👍 Thanks! 🙌 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
great video. I have been thinking about cutting a viewing port so I can more easily measure the angle of my bend. Don't think it will compromise the strength of the bender. What do you think?
Can I ask how you found all your shop equipment?
Hi Jed! That’s a good question because it is kind of an art to hunting down tools and shop supplies. There are a few different categories. Auctions are good but not as good as they used to be since they are all online now. It used to be that you could get a good deal but not people online are bidding more than the items are worth.
Craigslist, offer up, and Facebook marketplace are all good resources for tools. There are different Craigslist apps that help to search for items and get alerts.
Ebay can be good! Look for tools under many different names. Also misspelling words can bring up good deals.
If in the north east there are great swap meets/ flea markets like Jack Town and Elephants Trunk.
Word of mouth is always good. Sometimes a shop is going out of business or selling some tools. Good to check in with local shop guys.
I hope this helps! It would be a good video for me to make.
Right On! 🙌, Jon Crane

Hello.. If I want to bend a round steel tube at 90' in a hydraulic iron bender, what is the distance between the two pulleys for each pipe Thank you.♥️
Can this method be used for a shallow arc? Would it be the same number of pumps for each bend or would the throw be different for each bend?
Right on! 👍🏼
Where did you get those clips for the metal ruler???
3k Likes 👍
What schedule is pipe
Right On John! It’s schedule 40 👍
👍👍
Fast Cap??? They make that glue. P2-10??? They make rulers? Gotta see what all they make.
Right On Alex! Yeah, Fastcap makes all kinds of cool things! Check ‘em out!
Im completely torn between the more rugged ethic DIY cheap way for clout, or just dropping 2k+ for baller status lol... i only have an off road bumper planned for now, but if i buy a nice one ill probably open the door for more projects...
Oh get the nice one! 🙌✨ This one will get ya through for the short while but if possible get the goods. 👏
