build a $20 bender

- In this video I build a cheep bender for RHS (square steel tube) it should be able to bend up to 20mm with a 1.6mm wall but will need to be bolted down with a stronger handle bar before I try that, the former's are available in many sizes so with extra holes the bar will be able to be used on different former's so the cost will not go up by much per size

I misread the title as "build a $20 blender" and was halfway through the video wondering where this was going lol
That's probably what the dog was thinking; he looked kind of dubious.
Yeah from my experience a $20 bender normally starts with tequila not a weight plate
How the hell am I supposed to make a frozen vodka drink with this?!!!😖
I'm dyslexic so I misread the whole title
Same, and when he stated "bar bender" I still heard bar blender. Not at all disappointed in the video as this is still something useful.
The dog never quits with those sideways looks...
He is funny like that.
😂
The most easyest, cheaper and practical bender i have saw, great job.
It could use a stronger handle and to be bolted down to make it work better
@@juscozcustoms & have different dia weights.Cheers Mate Trev New Zealand
@@trevinskiking2165 being able to use different size weights for different bend diameters is the main idea behind this machine.
I also want to visit NZ to do some research on mini jet boats 😁
@@juscozcustoms Minijet boats ? small world I designed & built my own ply one in my teens...for best bang for buck use an old jetski motor & outdrive but hang on !
@@trevinskiking2165 I have an old "jet sprite" jetboat that was built by doen waterjets in melbourne Australia probabbly late 80's or early 90's
I brought in 2008 it is a 12 foot fiberglass that was built with a toyota 18Rgu engine but I want to rebuild with a honda k20 or k24
Finally a DIY video with music that isn’t horrible.
I tried hard for not horrible.
I dig the lobby music
Love the simplicity and the low cost. Thanks for posting.
I think it is a good starting point to get fabricating small projects. I used it to make my own power wheels if your interested
My favorite part of the video,
"I built mine, you bought yours."
Thanks. I have a different phrase or quote at the end of every video. So there might be a few others you find amusing
great build, i was going to comment about the lack of ppe for the corgi, but the pooch used common sense and looked away at the right time, smart breed Corgies
he is the good boy.
plenty of shed smarts pity he sheds in the shed and I have the floof to prove it if you see my more recent videos
Pooch Protection Equipment ?
Fire hazard?
@@ProleDaddy Stop Trolling him - he's experienced Enough.Trev New Zealand
Best homemade bender I've seen yet.
Just wait till I make version 2 😁
@@juscozcustoms What I love most about this one is the ease with which one can acquire and change out the wheels.
That was the idea @@recyclebills the next version will retain the option to use different size weight plates but also the forming dies from the suprising good $200 Amazon/ebay bender that I tested last year.
Love the manager keeping an eye on the progress in the background.
I slip him some treats so he leaves the workshop whenever I do something dodgy.
@@juscozcustoms haha.
Working on a project have no idea how much this has helped thanks to you hope your dog is well .
Thanks for letting me know. Im about to make a new and better version of this bender if your interested and shedcorgi is doing well and celebrated his 10th birthday just over a month ago
The best part of this video... your trusty companion who never leaves your side. 🥰
Shedcorgi. He makes an appearance in almost every video but sometimes it's a bit like a where's wally because he is just in the background for a few seconds
I spent hours trying to work out how to bend aluminium boxing and your video solved my issues. Great job.
Glad it helped
Nice build! Finally I’ll use the weights I bought!
Its good if you have different sizes. Then you can just chose the radius you want
As soon as I saw you buying a weight from Kmart I knew that I was going to like this video. Scored yourself a new subscriber.
Lol K mart customs
Thanks for joining the channel Mark
First time seeing your videos, love the patient pouchy sitting waiting for dad to finish the project. Facial coat and pattern is gorgeous.
I agree he is gorgeous and patient he also appears in almost every video I make if you are interested I playing spot the #shedcorgi
If anyone owns a C5 corvette they know what driveways can do to the lower rad support, but your video just saved me $985 cdn!! Im going to make my own thanks to your video.
That's cool. I recommend bolting it down and using a stronger handle something like 50x25mm.
goodluck and have fun fabricating.
WOW, great video. Thank you for sharing your creative work. Love the simplicity and cost for getting the job done.
Thanks.
If you were to stack two or three same sized plates this idea could bend some pretty thick wall and large diameter tube with a longer leverage bar.
The bends could be made smaller or bigger depending on what diameter the plate is.
Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing this.
That was exactly the idea behind this bender and using a weight plate. They seem to be available almost anywhere on the planet either new or second hand.
Also yes with it mounted to something solid and attaching a longer and stronger handle you should be able to bend bigger sections of steel
*@**1:26** Your dog: ("Hey, even I could make that thing!")*
One of the best on simple, effective bender. Love your creativity.
Thanks, I appreciate this.
Nice. Leaving that little overbend fix in there was good because it's gonna happen. I like that measuring setup, no guessing, no caculating.
Glad you like it.
Another good trick if your bend is in slightly in the wrong place you can over bend it then roll the bend along the steel to the right place but that gets hard if your using larger sections.
Thats amazing. I never thought of doing it like that. So simple! Good stuff.
Thanks.
I love how the dog looks away during the drill press part.
yeah he is a good little worker. knows when to use the safety squints.
Agree. I was worried he would get metal shavings in his eyes.
Well done. It is very afordable. I think the QA inspector is a nice touch.
Thanks. The inspector is good to have around
That's freaking Brilliant and cheap too.
The next version will cost a little bit more but will be a lot more capable. Hopefully I will get it built this month
Really good, I'll be making one of those. Thanks for uploading.
Keep in mind this is only suited to light wall rhs the way I built it with a hollow handle and not bolted down to something solid but address these two things and it will work a lot better.
I am also planning to build a better bender in the next month using tube dies from the $200 ebay bender I tested a few months back and making it really practical.
You can see the intelligence of the dog, it wanted to watch every move.
He is a very smart little friend, I can talk to him like my child but he actually does what I ask him to do.
He does watch what I do intently learning everything, I'm sure that he could even cook breakfast because he has watched me do it enough times but I feel the lack of opposable thumbs holds him back.
The dog is the very best part of this video! 🥰🥰🥰🐕
Best diy bender I found so far on UA-cam. Thank you!
Thanks.
It will need to be scaled up for larger diameter materials but the process is still the same
You Sir are a genius! I will be using this method to bed some square tubing for a mini bike build Im doing!
I am going to be building a better version of this soon that will be much more capable but if you can't wait to see that it will have a solid shaft in the middle instead of the bearing and it will be solid mounted then the arm will be a lot stronger (probably 25mmx50mm).
awesome idea mate!!! thank you for uploading
All good. Glad you liked it.
You just earned a new subscriber. And I love your dog !!
Thanks for that. I also love him :)
That's a great, simple, cost-effective solution for a DIY'er like me - thanks for sharing!
Thats good because DIYers and hobbyist where my target audience with many of my videos
Great solution! Essentially made a $700 follow former out of cheap bits an pieces. I get more pleasure out of making tools like this than I do buying the super expensive off the shelf varieties.
I also like to make tools but I love using them to make other things. After I made this tool I used it to build a microcar called the cubman.
Fun fact
The piece I bent in this video is actually part of the cubman chassis if you watch the first video
Great idea! Note: if you reduce the diameter of the Bering that goes in the weight then the tool can use in different size weights for different radiuses. Back in the day I just used a vertical sander to thin down the OD of a race for a bearing to make it fit ( was for a boat trailer). Nice Job!
That was one of the ideas behind this build to be able to use other size plates. It will be better when I finish the next version of the cheap bender that will be much more capable and do larger sizes of RHS and tube.
But he's used a standard weight plate - "1 inch" hole. All of the "standard" weight plates use this diameter. It's only the olympic plates that use a different hole diameter, and that is 2 inch.
This is awesome! Nice job. I need a metal bender so looks like this will be my next project.
@@paulraymond1804 so we should get what size OD bearing for the 1" plates? Thanks
if you use different size plates then you have to have multiple holes in the shs tube for the outer bearings to accommodate for different diameters, weakens the shs if you have to put a bit of force to pull it. unless you make a bar for each size plate
Love the Ingenuity I've made similar in the past but I never thought of using a weight would have saved the time it took me to plasma cut it and machine it down on the lathe. Nice work champ
Thanks. I decided to use a weight plate because they are cheap plentiful and available all over the world so anyone with a drill can make one. Also If your lucky you can get a whole set on facebook marketplace cheap.
Really Intelligent one. No complications, nothing , looks and IS very simple KIS
it is a handy thing to have but needs to be bigger and bolted down to do larger sizes
My good and holy God...the best bender I have seen !!! I was skeptical before the bend and when he got to done..I was laughin !!! ...brother.. you are a genius
Thanks. I'm glad that I was able to convince you with my actions.
If I was going to build this again I would bolt it down and make the handle longer and out of something stronger.
But I am going to make the next one different and a lot better so hopefully I can do it this month
I love the dogs expressions 🤣
#shedcorgi is a very intelligent doggo so it only seems right that he would question my actions. :)
@@juscozcustoms 👆
Great idea. Love the dog🐾👍
Me too!!! 😁
What a great idea! Thanks, mate.
That's ok
That's was very fascinating to watch really enjoy your video can't wait to see what else you come up with
I'm glad you liked it. I have a few playlists that you may be interested in. there is a minature car that I built using this bender that I call The Cubman it is a half scale lotus 7. There is also an offroad drift trike and a mini offroad buggy that I built for my 2 year old that is electric.
thanks for making this great video!
Thats ok
Great build! Thank you for showing how to make something practical and truly DIY, unlike the other channels that pretend that a lathe, plasma cutter, CNC, etc. are common DIY equipment!
I definitely wish these machines were common in my shed. I do have a lathe now but only because it was on marketplace cheap.
As for the builds I try to share knowledge in my videos to help anyone who wants to have a go at fabrication
Wow great advice mate.
Glad it is useful advice
My Hijet is deadset getting a Canopy and now I know how! Top Job!
You will be using a larger size steel for your frame probably 25mm so make sure the bender is bolted down and has a better handle probably 25x50 at least a meter long I am going to make a better version soon
Thanks so much for posting this. I was stuck trying to figure out how to be my aluminium square tube for a motorcycle project and your video inspired me to have a go at making one. I put it together this afternoon and already have bent a couple of tubes 20mm square with 1.2mm walls 👍. Only need small bends at the moment, probably 15 degrees or so. I ansee a very small amount of sidewall buckle at these low bends so I suspect anything more than 30 degrees could be a problem for me. Thanks so much again.
that's awesome to hear,
Generally it is impossible to bend square section without some amount of deformation on the inside.
I would like to see some pictures of your build if you could share them to the Juscoz customs Facebook page.
Ren ...if you've got an oxy gas set & if you pack your square tube with wet sand I think your problem will be reduced, and maybe experiment with 1.6 mil square but as the writer said I don't think you'll eliminate all in mid steel but you may in Alloy.Goodluck

Thank You for posting this video. It's a great ideal. I suppose one could use different size radius weights to make different size bends. Also, one could stack same size weights and use a blow torch to heat materials to bend larger pipes. Have you ever tried those ideas? Please let me know. Just curious.
The different size weights will definitely give different size bends which is why I used it.
It won't work overly well on pipe and larger box sections will work better with heat.
Nice build. Very clever!
thanks oddjobbob very helpful also
Nice!!! When you got more brains than money, you create your own solution! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I seem to be a lifetime member of that club. 🙄
But it does help with creativity 😁
Damn that was was to easy to get good bends out of 😂 great video mate I’m gonna have to make one of these for sure
That's good to hear but I hope you can hold off for another week or two because I am going to make a new version that is even better and way more capable.
This video legit just saved me $500. Thanks for posting this!
I would recommend that you bolt it down and make a longer stronger handle I would use 25x50. I am going to be making a new better version of this soon that should be much more capable.
Love the simplicity! Thanks
Simple and effective.
Quick and simple!! Id maybe go on and mount it, although we all have slightly different limitations in our work shops but I may have to make one of these soon, thank you!!
I recommend mounting it. If you want to use different sizes of die's you could mount a large bolt to the bench then it would be easy to change die's and definitely add a bigger handle.
Fantastic!
Round conduit benders start at $30 and just go up and up...
Just a quick glance online, the cheapest square tube bender I saw started at $230!?!
This method also allows you to chose the radius of your bend just by using a different weight plate.
The best part of this video are the looks on your dogs face.
he is a funny little fella
i see alot of home made cobble job tools on UA-cam . i liked this one wasn't a cobble job and worked really well . good job
Thanks.
If you like we'll built things then check out "the cubman" half scale car build that is the reason I made this bender.
Love the idea. Thanks for your efforts. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Thanks. Hope it's a good day in South Carolina
your dogs eye expression are priceless
He has quite the personality.
Your right about the the dog. He is beautiful and hilarious!
@@brucemartin8435 the best comedians don't n need to say anything.
Take care of your dogs eyes. Beautiful dog
@@chrishale8714 I am always cautious about eyes. Its hard to tell from the angle but corgi is a safe distance from the drill press.
I always send him out of the shed if I am welding or grinding because I also have to protect them gorgeous ears
Shop pupper says this is my chair!
#shedcorgi claims all the things. Even though he has an amazingly comfortable shedbed
Excellent presentation, it's really good to find this channel. Subscribed.
Thanks felix cat
Dog wants to give some advice but doesn't want to interrupt the video.
I should listen because he is a wise old soul
Shed Corgi is skeptical, but it looks like a great setup for rectangular tubing. Have you tried it on round tube? My concern is that the narrow bearing shell would dent it. Time to fab up a larger bushing!
I actually have a ebay/amazon tube bender that cost $200 and does a great job on the round stuff (I did a video on it). I'm going to make another bender that uses both the weight plates for square and the other benders dies for the round it should be a good little project.
@@juscozcustoms Funny, I just watched that video a few minutes ago. Hadn't seen it when I watched and commented on the other one.
Hopefully the next bender will be the best of both.
Now I wonder what else have you made that I've missed...
Well i have 150 videos so far and as soon as things settle down at home with the new addition I'll be making more.
But if you are interested I did a video in February 2021 about reaching 1000 subs and I went through the list of almost everything that I have built previously with links to all the videos in the description
Ok
Ok
Ingenious idea...just what I need
Awesome. Hope it helps you to make something cool
Pretty smart. Well done.
Thanks
80 dollar bender after todays inflation
Not far off
If you didn't understand him, your dog was waiting for his safety glasses. 😉
Thanks. I didn't have any that fit him so I sent him out of the shed before I started with the die grinder that would definitely throw the chips far enough to get him
Notice the corgi is smart enough to look away so s/he doesn’t take metal chip to the eye!😊
That's why he's called shedcorgi
Looked he was purposely trying to blind him to me.
Stupid!
Thanks, never seen such a simple and cheap one.
The new one that im building at the moment is not quite as simple but it will be much more capable and not to difficult to replicate
Now you can make a "metal dog frame bed" That will be the best.
shedcorgi already has a metal framed "shed bed" but I did use this tool to build a small car chassis. go check out the cubman playlist if your interested
Nice video but you need to give measurements you need to let us know the measurements and how are you bending it what are the measurements of drilling the holes and what band we get out of it but other than that it was an excellent video I liked it
Thanks. I decided not to give dimensions because it all depends on the weight plate that you use. I am planning to make a cheap bender in the next week or two that will utilize both the forming dies from the $200 ebay/amazon bender that Idid a video on last year and weight plates like this one. I will include all the dimensions for how to build that one because it will be made to suit any former you can find up to 25mm/ 1 inch both round or square if all goes to plan
Maybe he should come over to your place and bend it for you too.
Pure and simple genius!
Thanks.
Good music choice, man. Great video. Neat tool.
Thanks, awesome, and that's what she said...
Dogo still should have had eye protection.
Thankyou for your concern
I decided that he was at a safe distance for the speed that I was drilling. but when I had to get the die grinder out I took him right out of the shed because there is not a safe distance inside the shed with the speed the die grinder throws chips
Nicely done!
Thanks.
That is amazing, and so simple.
thanks, it is a handy little machine
So well behaved! ❤️ Corgis...Nice bender also
Thanks
This is what I've been looking for. Thanks
Glad it is helpful 🙂
What a great idea. I am going to go out and get all the parts and make it today
Awesome.
I recommend a stronger handle than what I used probably 25x50mm or 1x2inches
And change weights for differing radius bends. Brilliant, many thanks 👍
Exactly 😁
Love it bro!
Thanks man.
I had to look at this again, just in case I need to build one. Thank you again.
Hope it helps and you manage to fabricate something cool
Great idea and your dog is awesome
I totally agree with this statement.
I actually have a project coming up requiring forming a series of nested frames from 25x2 SHS. I typically cut and weld but this simple idea has changed my design. Cheers mate.
Cool. You will need to grab some different size weights for different size bends for nesting and definitely a larger handle to bend 25x2SHS
But the best thing would be to mount a post onto the bench for the weights and handle to drop onto instead of using clamps
SHS, 👍
Brilliant, just brilliant. Thanks
No worries. It is definitely a handy little tool.
I've actually got a few scrap rounds of steel and a few bearings sitting around not doing anything, and I can see how this can be easily made adjustable too. I think I just found my next project that's gonna help me with a few other projects. Thanks mate.
Sounds good. Just make sure the bearing is big enough and not to close to the edge of the round because that can put extra load on the bearing and they can explode.
@@juscozcustoms , I've got a few sets of bearings that are spares for the medium/heavy duty courier type trolleys. They should do the job well enough I reckon. I'll just take it a little easy at first and work my way up.
@@stuffbywoody5497 as long as the bearing has a gap at least twice the thickness of the material you want to bend you shouldn't have to many issues. It means the bearing is just guiding the material onto the die not being part of the forming process
@@juscozcustoms , cool. Thanks knackers.
Awesome real simple way to do a good job
And its really easy to get different a radius just by getting different weight plates
Geeat idea. Love it. Thanks.
No problem.
AWESOME IDEA, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Thats ok
Very clever - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for letting me know that it was appreciated 🙂
Simple and effective,
Nice.
Simple and effective, that's the best way to do it. start complicating things and you just add cost
Mate that's brilliant 👏
Thanks.
I need stronger bearings , just used a bunnos one and it shattered 😂 and was trying 20x20x1.6, might go down somewhat and try again
@@user-cg9oi5ug4d you can get away without the bearing in the center by using a bit of pipe or solid as a pivot point. After all its never going to do more than 1/2 a revolution.
The guide roller could probably be made out of a piece of tube that spins on the outside of a bolt or something because it's not doing a lot of rpm either.
I am interested to see what you achieve you can message me on the juscozcustoms Facebook page
I tried to do 25x25 with mine but stopped when the handle started to bend. So a better handle might be a good thing as well
awesome, thinking outside the box!
I dont think I have the box any more
I think I mush have customised the box
Gracias, what a great idea. now I'm planning on bending some round electrical conduit using this idea.
I have another bender that came from ebay/Amazon that works really well on light wall round for $200 if your interested.
I made 2 videos abut it
Good to see the dog look away when the drill press is running. A bit of old school eye safety.
I had trouble teaching him the safety squints so now I just send him outside when I'm working
Apart from your awesome bender :) I love your canine work buddy (corgi?). What a sweetheart!!
He is great company but has some interesting ideas. Like walking breaks every 15 minutes and tennis ball games on the hour. Honestly if I listen to him to much I would never get anything done. 😆
@@juscozcustoms hahaha.
Well hot diggity damn if that ain’t a hell of a good idea son. Thanks for sharing!
Heck yeah happy to share.
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helps you to fabricate something awesome
Great video, love your dog. I was looking for things to use as a radius
Yeah he is a loveable little legged lad.
The weights are good because they come in many sizes and they all have the same size hole in the middle so you can make the bender so they are interchangeable.
Too easy! Great idea.
And you can make it with different size weights to get the radius bend you want.
And that puppy is a great deal better than a shoulderlookingboss!!! Good puppy!!! And the puppy trusted you to do it right! Great vlog, great subject, thanks for posting and sharing with us. I subbed and gave a high five, would have been a high ten, but, pup said it wasn’t necessary!
Thanks for the sub and I hope you enjoy the builds that I have already done but also some of the things that are planned for the future.
All hail shedcorgi... he is great company in the shedquarters,
Cool idea 👍🏻
Thanks. I am just getting the material ready to make an even better version of this that will use weight plates like this or the dies from the $200 ebay/amazon bender I have.
Should be done this week if I can get all the hardware I need
