Works with most types of tubing. I've been doing brass this way in my model building for many years. Just a suggestion, tamp your sand multiple times as you are filling and clamp in a jig during cooling.
@@bennettscustomsco Yep I used years ago when l was bending pipes for headers. The bends can be tighter without kinking. Karl Fisher was talking about your channel so I clicked on it last night. Keep up the good work. Regards Tony
That's Sweet man. Good job. I learned something from ya how to bend stainless tube. Awesome I love motorcycles and metal fab. Hope your new channel goes far for Ya. Shout out to Make It Kustom for droppin light on Your Channel . . More to see I hope.
So Cool the process you have on bending stainless.........Never would have thought of the use of sand. Karl Fisher turned me to your channel keep up the good work.
Karl from Japhands ( Make it Kustom) sent me. Must say I'm enjoying your channel. First time I've seen stainless bent like that, proves you learn something new everyday.
Water is one of the best way to pack sand so iam thinking Maybe drill a smale hole in the bottom to let the water out And you Will get the sand as compact as possible Good luck and Thanks for one of CZcamss best Channels Dr-Pops
When you heat the pipe(with wet or damp sand inside) you’ll expand the water as steam and rupture your tube as you work it. Using sand is a very old method - not particularly well-executed in this video. Anyway, the correct approach is to heat the sand itself up front to remove any dampness and ensure no sticking together. Use a hammer to tap/vibrate the tube intermittently during filling to tamp it down.
I use wheels or pulleys to get consistent bends.just like mandrell bends.wagon wheels werk great after rubber is removed.tack them to fab table .also tack stops to keep tubing parallel.ive done complete roll cages and tube frames this way.old school and simple.
You explained it perfectly thanks 👍 Been thinking of giving it a try and make some engine guards. What type of welding is that called you used to tack the ends? Cheers
@@bennettscustomsco awesome that's good to know, might have to have a little play. Just need to buy a tig welder and I can start making custom sub frames for my race bikes :D
That is very cool. Salt water friendly, and no need for a kick stand….. glad you put it on the left for those Aussie roundabouts 🏍🇦🇺👍🏻
Thanks man! hopefully will get some good use

Good job! You could also use dry cement powder as it will pack tighter. Tony in Thailand
No way! i didnt know this? and still is okay under heat im assuming?

I use fine salt in my bends. You can dissolve it in case the sand gets bound together in the bend.
That’s a great idea!
A very slick build on these surfboard mount tubes. Thanks for sharing you tips & tricks on this fab job.
Rick
thank you kindly Rick
What type of sand is best for tube bending ???@@bennettscustomsco
Great video !
Cheers legend

thankyou! lots more to come. yes definitely happy for the shout out, shows the type of person he is

Never thought of sand filling to eliminate the crimping of SS tubing bends, well done mate! Japhands Karl sent me here
there was a slight ripple happening a one of the bends, i need to keep the heat more on the outside and pack the sand more next time!

Wow! I've only ever heard of sand filled bending. Never seen it done ✔
give it a crack!
dude this is just what i needed to know to do what i need to do. hell yeah guys

Sweet bends guys 💪🏻
Yeh brother
So, maybe a dumb question, but does that change the properties of that stainless steel at all?
great
Great way to get lumber home as well!
now you're thinking!
Love the Chanell mate from Australia 🇦🇺
Nice trick!
So... is it still actually "stainless" after that much heat in an oxygen environment?
Great stuff!
Great stuff. I’m subbed! Karl Fisher sent me too! Keep the content coming. Good luck from Sydney Aus👍
How do you determine how much heat to apply? Too much and one can ruin the stainless properties wich would be not so good.
Very very true 👍
How hard was if to get the sand out?
Great method.....but is it still stainless? This could be your next video? Throw it outside in some salt water now 😂
Great video.
Make it custom gave you a shout out.

You explained it perfectly thanks 👍

A question please:
What is the gas used to heat the pipe?
acetylene and oxygen
Good job keep it up
Beau boulot ! 💪
Why not simply use a tube bender for work like that? There’s nothing in the end result that prevents use of a tube bender.
Will this procedure work equally-well for Titanium-tubing?
Would this work for other metals? For those of us without benders
Definitely, almost better than stainless- just pack that pipe harder than ever.

good job bro.. loved : 'we run it over with the fork-lift ' dave nz
fuck yeah boys!!
