In this video, I make a Steel Sheet Bend Knot by bending 1/2 inch Rebar without using heat. I made this sheet bend knot because of a suggestion in a comment. I also did it for fun. I love the twisted rebar art type things that sometimes make people stop and think about how it was done.
I used 1/2 inch rebar to make this steel knot. I do not have a use for the finished sheet bend knot, but it will fit nicely into an industrial-style project at some stage in the future.
The knot is called a Sheet Bend knot. It probably has other names too.
I love the look of industrial-style furniture, and rebar with knots fits right in with the look I like.
The main tools used were a Hammer, a bit of pipe, and a bench vise.

Always use all the correct safety gear, and use your tools safely. I am not a good role model for this.
Hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.

Note: When you bend metal/rebar, you naturally weaken it. Bending it cold will normally cause fine cracks, and it may even break if you put enough strain on the rebar or bend it in the same place too many times. Do not rely on cold-bent steel/rebar to support a load.
