CNC-ish metal bending for the DIY Spot Welder

Hi. I, like many others, enjoy making things. I am curious about how things work, why things fail, what makes things durable and how things can be made well. These days I would be known as a "maker", but in my younger days I would have been described as a metalworker, a model engineer, a woodworker, a wood turner or a bloke who likes mucking around in the shed. I suspect I am someway along the autism spectrum because I get very focused on a project once I start. I was once described by a colleague as a "finisher" in that I was very driven to finish something once I had started. This is not always a good thing as it can mean pushing on when many others would recognise a lost cause and give up. Nonetheless I enjoy what I do and as a former teacher I recognise the importance of passing on one's knowledge whenever possible. To that end I am happy to post my rather quirky selection of videos. These revolve around the disciplines of metal craft, design, woodworking and allied materials.

In this the final episode of the DIY Spot Welder I take a look at precision bending as applied to copper rod using a DRO equipped milling machine and a machine vice. With this arrangement I can accurately bend two cranked electrodes for the welder.
