- In this video, I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar, without using heat.
The knot is called a Clove Hitch Knot
This knot will be used in a future Industrial Style project. I love the look of industrial-style furniture and rebar with knots fits right in with the look I like.
I hope you enjoy my video of the project, it was a lot of fun to make.
The main tools used were a Hammer, an angle grinder, and a bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

As a climber I have trusted this knot with my life countless times, this one looks even more solid.
a tad heavy for a climber
It is a knot I use all the time securing loads. Thank you for your comment.
I'd like to see a rewoven figure 8 done this way!
@@drunktrump5209 yeah that guy is gonna start climbing with half inch rebar to hold him up
That name is very unfortunate in Germany…
I am 17 years old and I am really interested with working with metals. I make chainmail for now . I made a full chainmail coif couple of years ago and I am experimenting on new stuff now. People keep telling me why are you bothering with these. They don't understand the pleasure these simple things give. This video is almost visual representation of my feelings. It gives me joy just watching you bend a challenging knot. I can't even imagine the joy of figuring something like this out myself!! Thank you for this video and inspiration. You are amazing.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment you are 100% right, some people like you and me enjoy these type of things, many don't understand as they shop and buy things and watch TV. It is nice to own things that cannot be bought in a store, or give a personal gift to someone. I think you should start filming yourself making your projects, and start a youtube channel, you just never know where that will take you. Eitherway I wish you the best.
Mid hurricane, man is just bending rebar into knots. Savage.
Hahaha, just another day, the wind was missing me, if it was coming the other way I would have packed up. I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
@@GavinClarkdiy Haha fair enough! I love it (: Thanks for the content, super cool! Cheers man.
@@GavinClarkdiy still replying to comments on a 2 year old video, you're an awesome dude
Wonderful seeing an artist at work. I design escape rooms, and it's given mii a great appreciation for people who can do such esoteric work as this with such skill. My art would be nothing without people like you!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I think your job would be very interesting. I appreciate your comment.
Hi Gavin
I’ve been a professional metalworker over here in the UK for 40 years and still enjoyed the simplicity of your project plus liked the look of the the wire brushed rebar. Good Onya Bruce. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much Mick, I appreciate your comment. Cheers Mate.
@@GavinClarkdiy your awelcome.
Very clever! The end result looks impossible. Took me a while staring at the thumbnail to figure out the solution for making it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
В чем здесь ум???
@@user-tr7yb9vt8i Это всего лишь стальной узел, предназначенный только для искусства.
@@GavinClarkdiy я и говорю что ум здесь совсем не при чем, здесь руки золотые нужны, в смысле очень умелые!
There is a slightly different technique. A very loose and very large knot is tied on a long steel rod "as it goes", and then one end of the rod is firmly fixed somewhere higher, and a strong sling or rope is attached to the other, on which a good weight is hung. With the help of this weight, the knot is gradually tightened in jerks. You can tie very tight knots and not only the "grip" type.
Those high winds seem beautiful and relaxing.
Sometimes, but when they come from the other direction they are a pain.
Yes Sir, you are the King of the knot
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Would be interesting to see (if you could get enough tension) if the knot tightens under load? Great video
with a very big load, I am sure it would tighten a bit but the ribs on the steel would grab at some stage and stop it from getting any tighter
Hahaha!
You can use the jig for testing Wire Ropes with some improvising.
Thanks.

That was cool.
What a neat little TH-cam video.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
You have a very humble style of video. I think your honest enthusiasm resonates with people. Thanks.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
That is beautiful. The best parts about the clove hitch is that it's easy to do, it doesn't slip and it's relatively easy to get it to release. You've broken it's functionality but in the best way possible.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Молодец, интересно смотреть. Даже кое чему научиться можно. Спасибо.
As I watched this video, I tried to figure out why he was trying to align both whole coils into one line. It wasn't until the end of the video that I realized where the magic was: You first make a vertical knot, and it's not something wonderful in and of itself. But! When you put the horizontal rod into those knot holes, it looks like the rod to the rod has been tied like a rope. Amazing! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate your comment.
I’ve recently found your channel and can’t get enough of your simple work pieces. The end result of this looks amazing! Great job.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Да это же старое, доброе "стремя"! Он на веревке так же вяжется, если вязать не "одним концом". Это же так просто! Настолько просто, что надо быть гением, что бы догадаться сделать тоже в металле! Браво! Я восхищён!
Сталь мягкая. Совковая арматура так не свяжешь... Её пару раз согнуть и отламал...

@@user-vb1iw2bp5f А вы хотели бы это повторить ? Предлагаю сделать что нибудь свое, оригинальное. Например - швейную иглу из лома. Тоже очень полезная вещь.
Excellent. Just a nice, wholesome rebar tied into a clove hitch; this is the way I remember the world, the Internet, and life; this is what I want.
Wow, can’t believe I watch the whole thing….outstanding!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Knotted rebar like this would be pretty awesome in an industrial setting, like you say. It would really look cool if you had a series of these serving as balusters going up stairs, with the knots holding the rail.
I agree it would look awesome with them all lined up.
That's impressive. I never knew rebar could look so good 🤩
Thank you very much.
I thought this was gonna be a blacksmithing project but yeah he just bend rebar what an amazing piece 👏 🙌
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, and I appreciate your comment.
Mate, you are a legend. Clever metal art.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
Muito bom! Ficou perfeito! Quem sabe, sabe mesmo! Parabéns pelo talento! Parabéns pelo vídeo! Um grande abraço!👏👏🇧🇷
Muito obrigado, agradeço seu comentário.
Beautiful! I’ve never seen anyone else do that!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
He is happy with his work 😊
I love this stuff, Cheers!
Master "iron bender". The fire and water nation will know you - Ang
That's actually really awesome. Well done. I'm amazed you got the loops to line up so well.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Awesome job. Thx for sharing these DIY rebar projects, I am retired and I struggled with what to do in my excessive free time. These projects have helped me find things to do to fill this time. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment and wish you the best for your projects.
Llllllllllllllll
I had to watch because I didn't believe it was possible. Very impressive.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
More beautiful finished product than most things in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
"Always use the right safety gear and use your tools safely, I'm not a good role model fur this" Your level of honesty and this cool video has earned like and subscribe from me
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and Welcome to the channel.
Beautiful!
You could make some really nice artwork using steel knots! Even just a number of different knots mounted on a board would look very cool!
Thank you I appreciate your comment, I have used them in a few projects on here, but you are right they could be used in many things, thank you for your comment.
It turned out beautifully. It remains to come up with a machine that will bend this thing
You sir, just taught me how to tie a knob!
Great job and very imaginative as always.
Thank you
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
looks amazing.. tempted to make my fence outta this technique, but i doubt i have the skills to pull it off 👍👍 u got a new fan here mate
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. If you do make it it would look awesome, I wish you the best.
AWESOME!
Thank you very much.
Beautifully done!!!!!!❤
Thank you very much.
Fantastic video! Your use of the vise and a few simple tools is very impressive, and is anything but simple! Definitely subscribed for more! 👍
Thank you very much I am glad you liked it, welcome to the channel
You make it look so easy but anyone that has tried knows it’s not. I love the industrial look. I’ll be building my new work shop in the new year and you have given me some awesome ideas like handles coat hangers just to name a few. I think I’m not alone when I say I’m so glad you jumped on TH-cam and created this channel.If this is your last one for 2021 have a great Christmas and new year with your grandkids and looking forward to seeing you in 2022. Stay safe
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment, we share the love of the industrial look, everything the shops sell now looks so boring, I wish you the best for your new workshop, and the projects that you make for it and in it. Yes this would be my last video for the year Bradley, Merry Christmas to you and the family. Keep safe, I will be chatting to you in 2022.
What we can do when we’re bored _and_ creative. Wow!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Yet another exciting birthday present for your wife!
I have to wrap them very nice with a nice ribbon, women love this stuff, hahaha
VERY IMPRESSIVE! You are a true craftsman! I love the minds that can take a seemingly impossible task and break it down into doable steps.

SPECTACULAR ! When I retired from commercial crab fishing in Alaska, I started working full-time as a union Ironworker. Needless to say I'm very familiar with knots, and rebar. I'm amazed at how good your rebar looks, it almost looks like licorice. I'd also like to know how many bars you broke while bending it, most people don't know how strong rebar is, yet how easily it will break... Especially when you're bending it 360°
I hope you make more videos, you killed me with the line "I'm not a good role model for it [safety]"
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I did not break or crack any rebar when making that knot, BUT, over the years I have snapped and cracked many rebars, Heat is your friend when playing with this stuff. I am trying to use simple tools and not use heat unless I have to, and if I do use it you would always see the flame in the video there will be no sneaky stuff. I have just used the standard rebar that you would buy at most hardware stores that are used on houses the code on my 1/2 inch rebar is "D 500N" I am in Australia. If I have bent rebar at a mark I try to never rebend at that mark again in another direction, (I do this in this video, but I try not to). I can bend it further in the same direction but not sideways it may crack, if you bend it too far and need to bend it back you will see what I mean. Bend it slowly and wider bends put less stress on the rebar. It took me a while to get used to working with it COLD. I appreciate your comment. there have been many people pointing out the things I do which they say are unsafe.
Хорошая идея для средневековых дверных ручек
Да, они бы выглядели великолепно. Я ценю ваш комментарий.
That's totally bad ass! You , sir are a genius!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Really brilliant! Would love to see how you make ornamental bends using materials like 6-10mm round bar, such that are used on security gates etc.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Round bar seems to look very plain when it is finished and also sometimes it looks cheap like you bought it at a budget shop, not that there is really any difference in the amount of work needed to make it, I do think a rebar security gate would look awesome. I did a lettering video doing smaller bends you may find interesting. Thank you for your idea and comment. th-cam.com/video/JA-wk62Zghk/w-d-xo.html
I always love a video that delivers exactly what it promises. Well done, and that piece came out beautifully!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
I find TH-cam's algorithms pretty spot on these days, I do things kind of like this in my shop if I am not working on one of my vehicles. I live in palmer alaska so I spend most of my winter in there hiding from my kids. Thank the good lord spring is finally here🇺🇲
Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it, I wish you the best with your projects, Greetings from Australia.
I like how proud you are holding that on camera 👍👍
Thank you, it is nice a lovely feeling when my projects turn out exactly as I wanted them to.
This was awesome man!!!! Thank you for the time you put into this! This was great sir really cool stuff! I appreciate you !
Thank you very much for your awesome comment, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate you watching.

My first time bending 13mm rebar last week and all I can say is, Wow! You sure make it look easier than it is! If it weren't for your videos, I wouldn't even know where to begin. Thank you! And enjoy your holidays.
Thank you very much, I have bent a few things over the years, Hahaha, it all takes time and a good long bit of pipe to bend it with. Enjoy your holidays too Robert.
He uses "the Force". 😎
His proud face at the end, hehe, such a nice guy
Man! Gonna get the scouts some bench vices right now for next level bends and knots! Great clip
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate your comment. The scouts would handle it. Cheers!
Good to see a man who knows his knots. Amazing to see a bloke tie a knot in rebar! Great job mate, impressive use of simple tools - like the way you wing it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Maravilloso, la forma que realizas los dobleces asi las hago yo pero no a tu nivel, pero si de forma intuitiva con las herramientas que yo tengo, y sin saberlo estaba realizando bien las cosas. Me he suscrito muchas gracias y espero seguir aprendiendo de usted. Saludos desde yucatan mexico

Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
@@GavinClarkdiy My pleasure sir. Keep up the good work!
I'm a TH-cam junkie and I've seen a lot of DIY videos. THIS takes the cake, by far! So fricking COOL!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Superman - that's a piece of cake for me
I love your comment.
@@GavinClarkdiy thanks 😁
Brilliant tutorial. A lot of us, myself included, have all these basic tools, and seeing your video could do...all of these steps. That's great to someone wanting to learn or extend their skills. But you take it a step further, all the small moves, adjustments. With rope I've tied clove hitches thousands of times -- I've even set them up exactly like you do, two bends, fold and then slide into place. But I would've never imagined doing what you did. You made a decorative piece, but there's so much technique and basic planning this would be a good skill to learn.
Thank you very much for the feedback, I am glad you liked it. I try to use simple tools on the channel if I can. Cheers!
Que incrível 🤝
Muito obrigado.
Hey brother this is my first comment on TH-cam ever I’m in the Jersey pines and just started cold forging 3 months ago I’m working with 20 year old rebar that was used for holding down clam beds in egg harbor bay really cool when wire brushed clean you my friend have created a monster I now say let’s see how Gavin would bend it thanks buddy I appreciate you’re free coaching
Welcome to TH-cam John, the internet is a good source for learning
I love you John (no homo)
Welcome to TH-cam. I am now the first furry you've encountered UwU avoid us dude we're really weird
Hi John, an awesome first comment, it is great that you have found a supply of rebar and you can clean it up nicely, I am very happy you have found ideas in my videos, I wish you the best for your projects.

That's fantastic !!!! Bending rebar without a bending machine !!!!!
Muito bom trabalho
Muito obrigado.
Pure genius Gavin! That’s my most used knot when I’m backpacking, bushcrafting, and other outdoorsy pursuits! Also a big fan of the bowline and the truckers hitch! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean? Ha! I guess that storm cooled it off in the rebar shop nicely? Thank Gav! Always love your shows! And Merry Christmas!
A huge thank you to you, I always appreciate your comments. This knot is also one of my main knots, I get the subtle hint Tom, I will have a play soon and see how I go. Merry Christmas to you and the family Tom, keep safe mate, we will chat in 2022.
You are truly a craftsmen.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Crazy video. Even the wind's sped up.
Hahaha
Hi Gavin,
Another nice knot! I'm going to try this one myself. I love the look of it all buffed up with the wire wheel. Hopefully, it will come out at least half as nice as yours did. Thanks for the video! Glad I found your channel.

Thank you very much, welcome to the channel, I wish you the best for your projects.
Another interesting one Gavin Cant wait to get into my shop in the new year and try to copy what you make look easy. I can see myself wasting a lot of rebar to get even close to what you can do. keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much Doug, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment. I am sure you will pick it up in no time. If I have bent rebar at a mark I try to never rebend at that mark again in another direction, I can bend it further in the same direction but not sideways it may crack, if you bend it too far and need to bend it back you will see what I mean. Bend it slowly and wider bends put less stress on the rebar. It took me a while to get used to working with it COLD, just have a play without trying to make anything and you will soon know how it works and what makes it crack or break, and the limits you have to work around to make something with it, if you are still having trouble heat is your friend. I wish you the best Merry Christmas to you and the family. Gavin
GRANDMaster of tying rebar into beautiful knots.

Looking really good Gavin, I’ve seen a couple of other TH-cam videos from others that have tried to emulate what you have done ✅. One of them was a Russian guy, third I can’t remember the details sorry, keep going Gavin, have a great Christmas with you and your family, and we will look forward to seeing some more of your videos in the future….

You are like a kid!
Great video! Thanx!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I enjoy what I do, yes, like a kid having a play and wondering what to make next.
I have that vice, never knew it could do that.
My vice has had quite a hard life with me doing this stuff, they are not made to do this.
This is why I love the internet:-)
Thank you very much.
I saw the thumbnail and was expecting you to heat up the rebar to make it bendable like a rope. Nope, just lots of creative cold bending. Very cool!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Sir, I’m a Blacksmith. I’ve made many of these before but never with your skill or perfection and never cold. Watching you make this was a lesson in skill and Craftsmanship. Thank you for the instruction.
Thank you very much Abby, I appreciate your wonderful comment and am very happy that you liked my video.
Alright.. that is super cool looking. I enjoy the industrious style.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I love the industrial look also.

I’m impressed by the “foresight” that you have to get an such an awesome finished project, and by your “VISE” it’s well used and not abused, I have one just like it👍 Mine came from “Harbor Freight” ( made in China”) 30+years ago
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it Rodger. I have had my vise for over 30 years also, it has taken quite a beating over the years, and is still going strong. Thank you for your comment.
why do I love this so much
Definitely something you don't see every day!
a real life bending unit. nice!
Thank you very much.
That’s a cracking idea. Would make a nice rugged long lasting gate and fence and much more
Thank you very much, yes I agree with you those sorts of things would look awesome with knots like this or simular.
Finally thumbnail was a real. I can live peacefully now.
Wow with your bare hands !
I love how happy and proud you are with the final product. Awesome work.
Thank you very much. I do like it when it comes out just as I wanted it to.
I clicked "like" at 20 seconds... awesome!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and appreciate your comment.
so proud at the end i love it
I was very happy how it cam out, I do enjoy doing these things, it is always a lot of fun.
