A small piece of flat steel with a ~2mm hole close to one end would be perfect for wrapping the wire around at the end & less awkward than the pliers. Great video & tool, Thank you
I appreciate this ingenuity very much. This is an attitude and approach and resourcefulness I use in my work. Consequently, I have only one friend. 🙏📿✝️. Looks like a great set up/ shop 😎👏🤛👍
Hi there 👋 this is one of the easiest ones to do 👍 no welding needed 🙂 since I don't have drill press, my accuracy will be little off, so I think I will downscale the diameter of the pins a little, anyway I'll be using max 1.2mm wire 😉
#"Gimme that tool"... Absolutely fascinating, the precision is absolutely perfect. I'm making my own wooden lures so the wire bending tool would be perfect. Some kind person set my workshop afire last year I lost everything along with all my tools I'd collected over 45 year's so to make something like this would be impossible. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. Thank you for being so generous, take care my friend 👍😷👍
I read through some of the comments looking for someone mentioning adding a drop or two of oil to the tip of your drill bits. Trust me, your bits will cut better and last much much longer. Good video by the way.
I'm frankly surprised you don't have one of these. Love your channel from way back. Had to go back and see your playlist. "Mackerel Feathers from Coffee Package" I found you back when I was looking for ideas for lures from recycled materials.
You can save yourself a lot of filing by using steel collars then one of the collars and be adjusted up and down the shaft and held in place with a set screw, then you can remove the set screw in the other collar and replace it with a long bolt for the handle. I know I know....Cost. Anyway, it's worth it. Great job! Fantastic video!
Nicely done. Thank you for the time and effort to make and post this video. About your cutters...I'd hazard a guess you natively speak German so, if that's right, you may like this: Knipex 71 12 200. Baby bolt cutters, made in Germany. Absolutely amazing. I use them for fencing (barbed wire, woven, high-tensile, and for cutting small aircraft cable (1/16, 3/32, and 1/8). Great cutters and I think they're smaller and yet would provide more cutting power than it appeared your set has. FWIW. Thanks again.
Actually not german, but danish - I think it sounds alike if you don't speak any of them. thanks for the advice on the bolt cutter. It looks really nice, and has enden up on my wish list
@@SplishSplashFishing Yeah, that's a hazard of not being in a diverse population (where I am)...it's hard to accurately pinpoint accents. I'm sorry for my confusion. And I wrote the wrong model number for the Knipex, it should have been 71 01 200.
Hi Jergen, "GIMME THAT TOOL" is cool cheap DIY for small wire gauge bender project. The fabrication was time consuming but thereafter it much flawless to bend such wires. I'm in the mid of creating similar design wire bender for slightly heavy gauge with nut made of cobalt steel. Hope this work.
Instead of those wood/deck screws or the 4mm bolt you can use cheap or worn out/broke drill bits,they're usually high speed steel unless they're very cheap.They're very strong and resist wear a lot more than screws and the usual grade 5 bolts you get at a hardware store and come in all kinds of sizes. When marking the bolt you can use a Sharpie or Paint Pen then scratch your mark on it.You also need to use a center punch,even on a drillpress the bit can "walk" throwing off your hole placement....and do use a oil to drill the holes,doesn't matter what type/kind of oil,it does help the bit to cut better and adds to it's life.
Thanks for posting this, I have to do some wire bending but not for fishing lures. I have a small basement machine shop so this should be a quick and easy build. Thanks again for the idea! :-)
@@AerialPhotogGuy wow - 1/8th wire is truly heavy duty, but I guess that as you have to upscale the bolt as well it will work nicely. Thanks for the comment
Great video !! A small suggestion... Just before bending at 90° (at 13:00 in your video) you can put a sleeve just above the buckle for even more solidity 😉 Gimme that tool !!
Thanks. You could do that, but I am not sure its needed with this lure. Once the wire is embedded in resin it wont move. However, if using the wire for wooden lures it could be a sound idea.
@@SplishSplashFishing not the way I make traces in wooden lures. Everything gets epoxied in. Takes a bit longer but you could pull a truck out of a ditch with it. Well, a small Japanese truck anyway 😁
Awesome Video Mate 🤙🤙 I think it will cure some headaches I've been having trying to get my wire forms right so....... GIMME THAT TOOL pretty please 🤣🤙
Fantastic comments and very well explained.I was looking for a tool like that as I tried to make one with no tools at all. It came out quite well I must say, but with your invention it much easier.Thanks so much .Gimme that tool.
Great insightful video (like all your lure making content). This tool would be so useful for the lures I'm making. I will be making one unless I manage to win the Jackpot! Gimme that tool, please ;)
Hello Jergen. My name is Paulo, I'm from Portugal, and I started doing my lures, I follow your channel and I really like your ideas. This wire bending tool is absolutely fantastic, I would love to have one but unfortunately I don't have the right tools or skills to make it. I wonder if I could manufacture one to sell myself. If yes how much will it cost? Best regards, Paulo Maia
Hi! Great video. I would love to se a video of how you make a metal jig or what we call in Swedish for pilk. Because I'm trying to build my own but it is kinda hard to do and I would like to se how you would do. But only if you have time!
The smartest person for wire bending I have ever seen.
Very excellent! You have made my search for a dying wire bender complete. Thank you.
That wire bending tool is absolutely brilliant, thank you for the inspiration.
The best and most simple one I've seen yet! I will definitely be making this tool

Gimme that tool ! I was thinking of buying a wire bender, this one is all I would need, love the video.

I was actually thinking that when i found a broken drill the other day, Better steel and the holes would match exactly. Thanks for sharing anyway

I just made one very similar to this but for 1/8th wire, I had to use a 7/8" bolt and it worked great.
