I make an Industrial Style Shelf Bracket, and bend Steel Rebar into a knot - MIG Welding Project
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 vise.
The rebar is 12mm, Wide flatbar is 50mm x 3MM, 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.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.
