I watched this video years ago, and quite liked it. (Frankly, my life back then was a lot better than it is now.) I came across this again today and I sat there completely taken in by your talent, and the nice result you achieved. And for a little while, I felt like the weight of my loss and my problems was lifted off me, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make that handle. Thank you so much. I wonder if you ever consider the positive impact you make on a viewer’s outlook; if you don’t, you should.

Hey Gary, we tried this it works like a charm, used 4mm electrodes bent in half gives a handle of about 130 plus long, just don't unwind too far. Welded to a fire poker handle and finished it looks wicked antique coppered.

It can be done by wiring them all together then forge welding but you need to be super good at forge welding not to burn the twists. Personally I would buy a welder!

I know exactly the problem you have. Firstly the round needs to be REALLY tight in the vise to stop it moving, you could put a tack of weld on the ends to help. The second problem is slightly more difficult to help. The twisting bar I use is not made specifically for round but the round does fit nice and snugly. You could push the bars through the twisting bar and put a pair of vise grips on the ends to stop them coming out. Also 3/16" may be a bit thick to twist cold depending on the grade used

You cold use TIG rod! Would eliminate the need to remove the flux off of the SMAW Rod. Also you can get TIG in Stainless Rod, Just watch how hot you heat it!! awesome video!

i have failed at this multiple times with 3/16s: trying to understand why when I twist-> 1. the bottom ends separate in the vise (is that the end you 'folded' but remains one piece) and 2. why the twist starts preferentially at the top of the rods, then works it way out of the twist bar before ever reaching the bottom of the 2 rods. Is your twist bar custom made for round stock?

+matt mcdowell You may be trying to use too small welding rods or you just have your welding set too high. I'm guessing you are trying with an arc set which isn't an inverter, with an inverter set or a mig set it's dead easy.

i want to use this technique for a project I'm doing at school. is it possible to twist together 4 lengths of rods at the same time as I want them to seperate at the end like tree branches. also what kind of metal is a welding rod? is it coated in something particular or can I use a standard metal rod that I could use in a brazing hearth?
@garyhuston
9 жыл бұрын
Yes it should be possible to twist 4 pieces depending on the size. You may need to weld both lots of ends together then twist then cut one end off to open them up. Welding rods come in lots of types. I just used mild steel rods which are flux coated. The flux must obviously be removed before you use them. Any mild steel rod will work.

I've tried it and it seems to work but i am attempting to use a 6mm diameter silver steel rod but you make the twisting part look so easy. what tool are you using to twist the metal and is it expensive? if so, is there a substitute i could possibly use?
@garyhuston

+Jayda Bailey you are really asking a lot to twist 6mm rod by hand especially if you are doing four at a time. I just did two 3mm by hand with slotted wrench. Years ago I twisted seven 10mm bars together, six around the outside and one down the middle to stop them collapsing. I did it cold to get an even twist but I had to use a monster of a lathe to do it. You may have to do it hot but that brings its own complications!

Not sure which twist you mean. If you mean the one I did hot then I have no idea! I have never tried it cold as it would probably be too hard to twist. Give it a go and let me know. Also check out the updated twist, it's much better looking.
