    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
      @sketchybuilder 10 днів тому +2

      @@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 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.

    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.
