Simple DIY Metal Bending Jig

[Sawdust]

I seen this on YouTube the other day. Its raining outside, wood stove is warm, good day for a project. This is so simple it only took me less than an hour to do. I'll just share the link for a better description. I made my pins 3 1/2" long so there would be more meat in the jaws of the vise. I never had a bolt that long so I used a pole barn spike & threaded the end.

That's cool! I have the HF bender so I have those dies. I'll have to make one of these up. And I have long bolts!

I want to make one like that. This is mine I replaced the flat stock piece with a washer since the video.
