Robert Cowan | Bending Aluminum with 3D-Printed Dies @RobertCowanDIY | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 44 seconds ago
Have you ever wanted to harness the power of the heavens and bend metal with your MIND? Yeah, me too, but I figured out a good way to bend it with a vise and some 3d printed dies. I make some mistakes, learn along the way, and end up with bent pieces of metal.
