I make an Industrial Style Shelf Bracket after bending the Steel Rebar into a knot to use inside the shelf bracket. I love the look of industrial furniture and all the decor that comes with it, and this shelf bracket has the look I like. A nice MIG Welding Project using rebar.
I hope you enjoy my video of the steel rebar knot shelf bracket project. It was a lot of fun to make. I did make other brackets exactly the same, so I could hang the shelves.
The main tools used were a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, and bench vice.
The rebar is 12mm, the Wide flatbar is 50mm x 3MM, the Small flatbar is 32mm x 6mm. The shelf bracket size is 180mm x 180mm.
Heat makes the bending much easier, and there is less chance of the rebar cracking or breaking. Heat is basically your friend when bending steel. I am trying to use simple tools and not use heat unless I have to in many of my videos, so the rebar was bent cold with no heat treatment at all in this video.

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.
