Fabricating a Tube Bending Tool [Cummins Swap Part 16]

- After breaking a cheap Chinese-made tool, I decide to fabricate my own tube bending tool to bend a power steering line to fit my Cummins swapped GMC C3500HD.
My favorite multiprocess welding machine: amzn.to/38wX46R

What a wonderful young man, clean cut and no profanity. Very informative. I really enjoyed watching
Your honesty in your videos is much appreciated. We learn from your mistakes with you. The "bleep" reminds us that you are human too. ;-) Like everyone else, Im anxiously awaiting the first start
Thanks, Bill! I do like to include the occasional bleep 😂
Man I can't wait to see that Cummins revving!! A lathe would really come in handy for you. Great video Waldo! 👌
Oh my goodness, I would love to have a lathe! One of these days... 🤠
Now that you've made a few tools, you'll have to get yourself a little tool makers stamp to mark them with. I'm sure those tools will outlast most of us!
Ooh, that's a good idea! 👌
Ya know, I'm the sort that wouldn't embark on the project at all unless I just dive in like u did. However, drawing this on paper and visualizing it a bit more would have saved some labor lost. Anyway, nothing is lost. Education at the least. Great job documenting this little journey!
McGiver ain't got not'n on you! Great bush fix on the bender!
Love it !!! Trial and error engineering is how I operate!! These little "unplanned " videos are great, you should try reverse engineering other tools to make them better. Maybe a video a week??? Great job buddy!
Thank you! Yeah, I definitely need to get videos out more often 😬
Frankenstool, hahahaha. I really liked the evolution in your tool design.
I like how you used a valve as a punch! And you have been watching aVe!
Maybe it's AvE, but some of you all caught it
Looking forward the completion of this truck !
I am too!
The walls factor... If the tool doesn't work let's fabracoble one that does. Great video
You are a good welder
😁👍
Thanks, I try!
I Like your videos and can’t wait to see the Cummins swap done. A tip when cutting steel, cut the holes first. At about 10:30 you cut the outline of the part it fell on the floor, then you had to pick up a hot part and clamp it to the table again to cut the hole. Cut the hole first
That's good thinking! 👍
Snap on would probably sell this tool for $50 a week for 5 years 😂
Hahaha true 😂
Why do you buy cheap products from from China and then criticize the low quality of products made in china? Do you not realize you’re supporting those manufacturers?
Waldo
Good job of centering the 1/4 " tapped holes in the rollers and yes, Chineseium is a commonly found alloy these days. But Don't eat the Chinese food and then curse their junk tools. Its just not consistent OK? Glad to see you back on the truck! I'm amazed at you ingenuity.
Thank you! I try to avoid the Chinesium, but sometimes I need (or want) a tool right away and I settle for what I can get locally 😂
You videos are a pleasure to watch! Much appreciated for taking us along for the ride 👍🏼
Can’t wait to hear you fire up the 5-9!
Thank you so much!
Waldo, I watch all your videos. Your videos are unique and well crafted. I like the details, and you help me learn a lot. Keep up the good work, buddy. Soon your videos will get very popular. I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much!
What a piece of work. 😀 Nice job.
I enjoyed the video. When you moved the small pieces closer to the roller you loss leverage. Thats why it was so hard to bend. Good problem solving to a complicated situation.
Thank you! Yeah, I'm glad the square tubing handles made it easy to add extensions for more leverage 👌
Great work man! This is coming along nicely.
Thank you!
Good work Waldo, cant wait for first start and drive ! 🌵
Thanks, Scott, I can't wait either!
Hi Waldo ! Yes liked this film just shows what can be achieved by fabrication , chinezium man that's funny we have all got things made from that stuff ! Looking for ward to the big start !! Thanks for filming !
Thank you, Steve! At lest the chinesium went easy on my drill bit 😂
Great job!
You could see the pipe stretch with the well made tool, it just stretched the pipe with ease that's one beefy pipe bender lol maybe the OD of that pipe is a lot thinner now, it be fine 😬
I love your fabrication skills bud!!!
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy your videos and where you take them
Thank you very much!
Great video Waldo enjoying the build!
Thank you!
4:59 hahaha WALDO... you got me....
gets bad tool, i'll just make my own. great video mate
Those handles are WAY too short. Awesome video and I've been binge watching this series.
EDIT: Guess I should have waited till the video finished but you figured it out as expected. Pointless comment as this is already driving..... hahahahaha
Look into the Gearwrench ratcheting T handle for the tap and die set.
That's cool, I didn't know those existed!
Take this as tong and cheek...If you had money for new doors, why not a quality pipe bender. You really Mad Maxed this tool. LOL
Nice work
I love your term: CHINESIUM
Hi Waldo , you could have mounted the the two small rollers to the fixed part of your four inch drill vice and the larger roller to the moveing jaw of the drill vice and hay presto a small bender is made quick and simple but i love the cardboard cad , just how i work things out never time to learn cad . great work.
Thanks, that's not a bad idea!
Why do every amarican TH-camr remove the shield on the grinder? Yes, it might be in the way 1% of the time, but it might also save you from
injure if the disc breaks.
To offsett the "critique", I want to say great channel. Nice filming, good voies over, you show when and why you make a mistake and how you correct it :) keep at it
Thank you! In regards to the grinder guard, I always used to keep mine on until I used someone else's grinder that didn't have a guard. It was so nice to use that I immediately went home and removed my guards 🤷♂️
Chinesium 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great job making a tool. Always looking forward to your videos. Wish I knew you needed a bending tool. I could have loaned you one. If you need anything and I can be of assistance let me know. Thanks for sharing another interesting fun vid
Thanks, Pete, you're the best!
You will be surprised what you can do with a simple mig welder and a 4.5 in grinder
Brilliant!
Waldo, great fab skills, us mere mortals would go the store and purchase a better quality tool.
nice
Chinezeum....Hilarious dude...Javi G.
That has to weigh around 10 pound :) but will not break
@7:40 you did not make a mistake you just put on the rollers on the wrong side... pivot point was fine. Happens.
Ahhhh Chineseium!
Hows that megacab stretch coming?
tool too tight = less leverage to bend pipe the three 'spools' are too close
What starter are you going to use on it?
The transmission came with a Denso starter, but I found out the hard way that it doesn't fit (because the frame rail is in the way). I ended up buying a Delco 29MT which fits. This'll be in the next video 👍
Make sure to see if it needs shimmed or not, we made that mistake with ours.
Do you have anyway i can contact you?
After decades of the reverse happening at a national level, I find it
comically ironic an American is reverse-engineering a Chinese tool. 😂
Am I the only one who heard chinesium? Lol
I could certainly do without that music. Ron W4BIN
Chinese tat.
Lmao, ok stealing "chinesium" for my own vocabulary
