WOW! You know of course, this makes you the champion of the world in rebar knot tying! You were definitely equal to my challenge! I’ve thought about this a lot over the past week, and I figured you might have to bend one turn on each side, then the second on each side etc. on account of interference, but you made it look simple doing one side at a time! I am in awe of your talents, and the fact that you use nothing more than an old bolt and a piece of pipe makes you all the more remarkable! Thanks for accepting and aceing my challenge! I’m inclined to challenge you to do a rebar monkeys fist next, but I know next week you’d have worked yourself to death, and there would be a new video! I’m just not that evil of a person though, so I’ll refrain from issuing that challenge! Thanks Gavin! You are truly remarkable!

Loved seeing this in large scale with steel. Did you know you re-invented the spring in a 2,000 year old fibula broach? You didn't quite do it the same way it's done for jewelry. That technique has a trick twist around, instead of your bending together, that creates the arc. It all stays on a long rod until the end. First you make the wrap like you did, then jump over the first spring to the point you measured, creating the arc, then you wind in the reverse direction away from the center, ending with that end pointing in the opposite direction. Then you rotate the end back to the center from that arc distance you measured. I'm very impressed how great yours looks. It's not easy in bronze wire and you did it in rebar!
