In this video, I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar without using heat. This knot will be used in a future Industrial Style shelf bracket.
The knot is called a larks' head knot.
I love the look of industrial-style furniture, and rebar with knots fits right in with the look I like.
I hope you enjoy my video of the project; it was a lot of fun to make.
The main tools used were a Hammer and a bench vise.
The Brand of the Drill bits and cutting/flap discs is "Alpha" If you can't get them at your local hardware shop, here is a link to Alpha Tools: https://alphatools.com.au

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.
