Yes that's exactly what I was thinking too. Although you came up with a better solution. By the way your stick welding is just fine. The mig welder I'm using is for auto body work and repairs.
Thanks again Tom. Like I said I should have made it right the first time. I have a small mig as well, which although it will weld 5 or 6 mm it is more I suited to thinner steel. I also like stick welding. 🙂👍
I’m asking from a position of ignorance, and I genuinely would like an answer - why was the route you took preferable to sinking a couple of countersunk holes & some flush mounted lag bolts at the points of flexion? You’d have a couple more holes in your bench, but is there a structural reason why that’s patently goofy? Cheers!
That’s a good question. I actually considered it and it would have been much quicker. But I thought it would put too much strain on the edge of the bench and so opted to do it like this. Just seems much more secure clamped around the bench. Thought would make a good follow up video too. 🙂👍
That’s a good point. On rewatching the lower contact surface is pretty small. It would be a bigger pain to have to revisit in 4 months after tweaking or ripping bolt holes out of round from aggressive use. Thanks for reply. Cheers!
This is a modification to the Metal Bender I made in this video: th-cam.com/video/-cAa5NNSpps/w-d-xo.html
Just what the Dr. ordered. 😁
Now it should serve you trouble free fro a long time.
😁 should have done this the first time around. 👍

What did you use for the hinges?
I used 100mm weldable hinges. This is the link to them: ebay.us/3qb9hc
