Fitzee fabricating was the first pipe anvil I recall. Terrific you tuber 30 years experience. Check him out. Your design has a lot of great features too. Thanks for sharing. Your projects look pretty slick.
Bro, that is way better than my design. I’m totally putting that on mine. Thanks for the mention and motivation. Fab on
you have some really really cool ideas. Well made. I’m going to be watching your channel for certain thank you so much. Didn’t know what a pipe Anvil 👍could be used for now. I do thank you.
That's a very cool hack. I'll have to modify mine. I like the roller pipe idea. Also if you made to side mounts longer you could mount it on the larger pipe or even the smaller pipe. The flat bar could have multiple holes for each diameter.
Wow that’s some good ideas! Some good additions in comments too. Thanks for sharing this
Looking forward to seeing your modified pipe anvil video !!
This is great info on the pipe anvil for me, so I can build one for myself.
I've always wondered why i hadn't seen anyone put a full length pivot point like this.
Nice job!!!
First time hearing of a pipe anvil, that’s really cool. Thanks for sharing
Great idea! I'm going to add it to mine! Gene was great at simple solutions!
That is a great hat. I feel the same way.
Great job. Thank you 😊
Brilliant man thank you for sharing . palm my forhead perfect rocker all; around keep it up PEACE!!
Great idea! Ive been collecting material to make a pipe anvil and definitely will incorporate this.
Fantastic idea thanks for sharing
Nice work!
Great tips 👌
Thanks for your helpful video
Ger 'er done!
Awesome, theres a good reason to build a bigger shop for me.
Thank you
Well that settles the fate of about a third of my old pipe rack. Got some 6" and 15" heavy casing. Also larger pieces but about a foot shorter than what you've got there. Looks fun to use.
Thats a very good description of how to make a pipe bending machine and one done fairly cheaply. Keep coming up with these ideas.
I was fortunate enough to get the design from Gene himself 👍 every one that makes one always say there gonna build another one. That’s how great this is to build and use!!!
Good video my friend.
Wow. That’s really damn near a perfect setup. Like you said about the little changes. I plan on making my own with your changes. Thanks for the tips! You got another sub.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing. 👍
That's pretty cool
Clever !
Nice development for this type of pipe anvil.
Also - hack #67 - have the smaller pipe anvil bolt in and out - thereby you can change the sizing of those pipes, giving different radius to the sheets.
@@sketchybuilder great idea about being able to change out the smaller pipes!
@@Baxtersdownsouthcustoms WELL...hack #47 is....have the largest pipe welded in place but have the smaller pipes able to swivel slightly, stopping the binding of the sheets when inserting the sheet...then use a dead stop screw to set the gap.
Hack # 23 is, use the smaller pipes themselves to swivel and act as the bending bar/brake....just as our good friend above did.
Finding the center for the pivot might be a trial and error thing, but highly possible.
NB - I don't bend sheet metal - unless my brakes don't work.
That’s an awesome design I’ve been wanting to build one for some time I’m going to add to your design by putting a bar across from handle to handle so you can stand in the middle and pull down so your not stretching your arms out and maybe add some adjustment holes in the end where it bolts to the 3” pipe and one other thought about putting a cross piece across the legs so you could stand on it i guess you could come up with all kinds of modifications
I want that hat!!!!
@@Grams-t5g i plan on selling them once i set my an online store up.
I like your addition to the anvil. You could use polished bar stock, say from a food conveyor belt. And maybe drill out the ends and fit bearings? I need to roll out about four foot by three foot diameter to fix a milk churn for a friends wife. Also have to do repairs to the top. This would work fine. Cheers thanks for sharing.
Good educational video bro appreciate your channel
Can you put a slot in each of the end brackets so the pipe can be adjusted closer to the other pipe?
@@davidwatt73340 i dont see why you couldnt
That's a great design!
Where are you in TN? I'm west of Nashville
South East TN. Between Chattanooga and Knoxville
Hack #27...wrap major pipe anvil with 'moving blankets' - those thick padded ones - with enough layers to increase the effective diameter and forming ability.
Hack #27b....drape the moving blanket over the sheet being bent - stops the scratching.
Hack #89....keep moving blankets clean - for those late night work sessions and or, when you get kicked out the house.
That roll came out nice , what gauge is that sheet metal ? Thanks
@@michaelhallas6450 18gauge
Isn't that what tinner molds are for? 6' 8' and 10'
Or just radius on the brake?
A whole lot less expensive than a sheet metal roller
use pcv pipe over your tube
I'm old school a little older than you. I'm so tired of hearing the word hack everything is a hack these days. Talk old school we can relate better. Enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
Your close enough you could have put bearings in the tubes with chain and sprockets and made a roller.
Steal an ides from pipe benders to make thar uniform bend
You need to look up 'editing'.
I hate people. I drink whiskey. I know things. Thats what I do.
