    A Jig on rollers with some 3 axis adjustments built in would be a cool trick. Some hill billy, decking engine blocks with a grinder and some home made JuJu would break the internet.

    The angle grinder trick is very clever. I’m happy to see that it worked well.

    HOORAH!!! This is the first video I've seen that shows the clamp needs to be adjustable for the thickness of the metal being bent!!!! I discovered the necessity when making one using many other videos that didn't!

    Just a thought, rather than welding on 2 (4) halves of a washer because you ran out of thread, wouldn't it have been neater/quicker to run the threads down the bolt a little...?

    i like voiceovers ok becuase you can have production video in the background while you are providing narration. very difficult to rattle off commentary while you are cutting grinding and welding. I enjoyed this video.

    Looks like a few lengths of angle, some round stock, a few bolts washers and nuts, two springs, and most importantly some basic mechanical aptitude and a bit of ingenuity.

    Using too light of gauge/ small dimensional stock steel, but I like your surfacer rig for angle grinder. no way quarter" is worth the labor especially over 3' work width. but you can build it up with scrap

    Horrible explanation of bend radius adjustment. Looked like and after thought. I'd say that is the most important feature and I could not follow "always want it flush"? Flush with what ? Why is the test sample flopping around during the adjustment? I'm glad he wallowed out his hole and then added those washers to make up for the mess but why not explain why and how so others could learn ?
