- In this video, I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar, without using heat.
The knot is called a Clove Hitch Knot
This knot will be used in a future Industrial Style project. 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, an angle grinder, and a bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

As a climber I have trusted this knot with my life countless times, this one looks even more solid.
a tad heavy for a climber
It is a knot I use all the time securing loads. Thank you for your comment.
I'd like to see a rewoven figure 8 done this way!
@@drunktrump5209 yeah that guy is gonna start climbing with half inch rebar to hold him up
That name is very unfortunate in Germany…
Mid hurricane, man is just bending rebar into knots. Savage.
Hahaha, just another day, the wind was missing me, if it was coming the other way I would have packed up. I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
@@GavinClarkdiy Haha fair enough! I love it (: Thanks for the content, super cool! Cheers man.
@@GavinClarkdiy still replying to comments on a 2 year old video, you're an awesome dude
I am 17 years old and I am really interested with working with metals. I make chainmail for now . I made a full chainmail coif couple of years ago and I am experimenting on new stuff now. People keep telling me why are you bothering with these. They don't understand the pleasure these simple things give. This video is almost visual representation of my feelings. It gives me joy just watching you bend a challenging knot. I can't even imagine the joy of figuring something like this out myself!! Thank you for this video and inspiration. You are amazing.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment you are 100% right, some people like you and me enjoy these type of things, many don't understand as they shop and buy things and watch TV. It is nice to own things that cannot be bought in a store, or give a personal gift to someone. I think you should start filming yourself making your projects, and start a youtube channel, you just never know where that will take you. Eitherway I wish you the best.
Wonderful seeing an artist at work. I design escape rooms, and it's given mii a great appreciation for people who can do such esoteric work as this with such skill. My art would be nothing without people like you!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I think your job would be very interesting. I appreciate your comment.
Hi Gavin
I’ve been a professional metalworker over here in the UK for 40 years and still enjoyed the simplicity of your project plus liked the look of the the wire brushed rebar. Good Onya Bruce. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much Mick, I appreciate your comment. Cheers Mate.
@@GavinClarkdiy your awelcome.
Very clever! The end result looks impossible. Took me a while staring at the thumbnail to figure out the solution for making it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
В чем здесь ум???
@@user-tr7yb9vt8i Это всего лишь стальной узел, предназначенный только для искусства.
@@GavinClarkdiy я и говорю что ум здесь совсем не при чем, здесь руки золотые нужны, в смысле очень умелые!
There is a slightly different technique. A very loose and very large knot is tied on a long steel rod "as it goes", and then one end of the rod is firmly fixed somewhere higher, and a strong sling or rope is attached to the other, on which a good weight is hung. With the help of this weight, the knot is gradually tightened in jerks. You can tie very tight knots and not only the "grip" type.
Those high winds seem beautiful and relaxing.
Sometimes, but when they come from the other direction they are a pain.
Finally thumbnail was a real. I can live peacefully now.
Would be interesting to see (if you could get enough tension) if the knot tightens under load? Great video
with a very big load, I am sure it would tighten a bit but the ribs on the steel would grab at some stage and stop it from getting any tighter
Hahaha!
You can use the jig for testing Wire Ropes with some improvising.
Thanks.

His proud face at the end, hehe, such a nice guy
You have a very humble style of video. I think your honest enthusiasm resonates with people. Thanks.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
That is beautiful. The best parts about the clove hitch is that it's easy to do, it doesn't slip and it's relatively easy to get it to release. You've broken it's functionality but in the best way possible.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
You sir, just taught me how to tie a knob!
Real man. A member of a dying breed.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Да это же старое, доброе "стремя"! Он на веревке так же вяжется, если вязать не "одним концом". Это же так просто! Настолько просто, что надо быть гением, что бы догадаться сделать тоже в металле! Браво! Я восхищён!
Сталь мягкая. Совковая арматура так не свяжешь... Её пару раз согнуть и отламал...

@@user-uw5lw9dm5l а если предварительно обжечь то может и выйдет. а так мужик молодец, у меня выдержки не хватило бы повторить.

Mechanical advantage at it's finest
Thank you very much.
Excellent. Just a nice, wholesome rebar tied into a clove hitch; this is the way I remember the world, the Internet, and life; this is what I want.
Knotted rebar like this would be pretty awesome in an industrial setting, like you say. It would really look cool if you had a series of these serving as balusters going up stairs, with the knots holding the rail.
I agree it would look awesome with them all lined up.

Thank you very much Deezynar, I appreciate your comment.
looks amazing.. tempted to make my fence outta this technique, but i doubt i have the skills to pull it off 👍👍 u got a new fan here mate
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. If you do make it it would look awesome, I wish you the best.
Awesome job. Thx for sharing these DIY rebar projects, I am retired and I struggled with what to do in my excessive free time. These projects have helped me find things to do to fill this time. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment and wish you the best for your projects.
Llllllllllllllll
That was cool.
What a neat little RUclips video.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
He is happy with his work 😊
I love this stuff, Cheers!
That's impressive. I never knew rebar could look so good 🤩
Thank you very much.
I always love a video that delivers exactly what it promises. Well done, and that piece came out beautifully!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
More beautiful finished product than most things in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Yes Sir, you are the King of the knot
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Beautiful! I’ve never seen anyone else do that!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Muito bom! Ficou perfeito! Quem sabe, sabe mesmo! Parabéns pelo talento! Parabéns pelo vídeo! Um grande abraço!👏👏🇧🇷
Muito obrigado, agradeço seu comentário.
It turned out beautifully. It remains to come up with a machine that will bend this thing
Now THAT'S a pipe!
My first time bending 13mm rebar last week and all I can say is, Wow! You sure make it look easier than it is! If it weren't for your videos, I wouldn't even know where to begin. Thank you! And enjoy your holidays.
Thank you very much, I have bent a few things over the years, Hahaha, it all takes time and a good long bit of pipe to bend it with. Enjoy your holidays too Robert.
He uses "the Force". 😎
That's actually really awesome. Well done. I'm amazed you got the loops to line up so well.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
I had to watch because I didn't believe it was possible. Very impressive.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Mate, you are a legend. Clever metal art.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
Fantastic video! Your use of the vise and a few simple tools is very impressive, and is anything but simple! Definitely subscribed for more! 👍

Great job and very imaginative as always.
Thank you
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Yet another exciting birthday present for your wife!
I have to wrap them very nice with a nice ribbon, women love this stuff, hahaha
What we can do when we’re bored _and_ creative. Wow!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
This was awesome man!!!! Thank you for the time you put into this! This was great sir really cool stuff! I appreciate you !
Thank you very much for your awesome comment, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate you watching.
💪
You make it look so easy but anyone that has tried knows it’s not. I love the industrial look. I’ll be building my new work shop in the new year and you have given me some awesome ideas like handles coat hangers just to name a few. I think I’m not alone when I say I’m so glad you jumped on RUclips and created this channel.If this is your last one for 2021 have a great Christmas and new year with your grandkids and looking forward to seeing you in 2022. Stay safe
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment, we share the love of the industrial look, everything the shops sell now looks so boring, I wish you the best for your new workshop, and the projects that you make for it and in it. Yes this would be my last video for the year Bradley, Merry Christmas to you and the family. Keep safe, I will be chatting to you in 2022.
Beautifully done!!!!!!❤
Thank you very much.
This is why I love the internet:-)
Thank you very much.
Beautiful!
You could make some really nice artwork using steel knots! Even just a number of different knots mounted on a board would look very cool!
Thank you I appreciate your comment, I have used them in a few projects on here, but you are right they could be used in many things, thank you for your comment.
Good to see a man who knows his knots. Amazing to see a bloke tie a knot in rebar! Great job mate, impressive use of simple tools - like the way you wing it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
I thought this was gonna be a blacksmithing project but yeah he just bend rebar what an amazing piece 👏 🙌
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, and I appreciate your comment.
WHAT?!? _9 MILLION_ people thought this was as interesting as i did??? Thats crazy! I used to do this to big paperclips with pliers as a kid lol.
I can remember bending paperclips into shapes when I was young, Cheers!
Gavin, I really love seeing what you make with that rebar. And all without heating it I might add. Well done sir!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
@@GavinClarkdiy My pleasure sir. Keep up the good work!
Really brilliant! Would love to see how you make ornamental bends using materials like 6-10mm round bar, such that are used on security gates etc.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Round bar seems to look very plain when it is finished and also sometimes it looks cheap like you bought it at a budget shop, not that there is really any difference in the amount of work needed to make it, I do think a rebar security gate would look awesome. I did a lettering video doing smaller bends you may find interesting. Thank you for your idea and comment. ruclips.net/video/JA-wk62Zghk/видео.html
That's a real piece of art right there....
Dope
Wow, can’t believe I watch the whole thing….outstanding!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
VERY IMPRESSIVE! You are a true craftsman! I love the minds that can take a seemingly impossible task and break it down into doable steps.
I just added my name to your subscriber list.
Thanks!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Welcome to the channel.
SPECTACULAR ! When I retired from commercial crab fishing in Alaska, I started working full-time as a union Ironworker. Needless to say I'm very familiar with knots, and rebar. I'm amazed at how good your rebar looks, it almost looks like licorice. I'd also like to know how many bars you broke while bending it, most people don't know how strong rebar is, yet how easily it will break... Especially when you're bending it 360°
I hope you make more videos, you killed me with the line "I'm not a good role model for it [safety]"
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I did not break or crack any rebar when making that knot, BUT, over the years I have snapped and cracked many rebars, Heat is your friend when playing with this stuff. I am trying to use simple tools and not use heat unless I have to, and if I do use it you would always see the flame in the video there will be no sneaky stuff. I have just used the standard rebar that you would buy at most hardware stores that are used on houses the code on my 1/2 inch rebar is "D 500N" I am in Australia. If I have bent rebar at a mark I try to never rebend at that mark again in another direction, (I do this in this video, but I try not to). I can bend it further in the same direction but not sideways it may crack, if you bend it too far and need to bend it back you will see what I mean. Bend it slowly and wider bends put less stress on the rebar. It took me a while to get used to working with it COLD. I appreciate your comment. there have been many people pointing out the things I do which they say are unsafe.
This is why Australian cars are the best!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
I have that vice, never knew it could do that.
My vice has had quite a hard life with me doing this stuff, they are not made to do this.
I'm a RUclips junkie and I've seen a lot of DIY videos. THIS takes the cake, by far! So fricking COOL!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Que incrível 🤝
Muito obrigado.
As I watched this video, I tried to figure out why he was trying to align both whole coils into one line. It wasn't until the end of the video that I realized where the magic was: You first make a vertical knot, and it's not something wonderful in and of itself. But! When you put the horizontal rod into those knot holes, it looks like the rod to the rod has been tied like a rope. Amazing! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate your comment.
why do I love this so much
Maravilloso, la forma que realizas los dobleces asi las hago yo pero no a tu nivel, pero si de forma intuitiva con las herramientas que yo tengo, y sin saberlo estaba realizando bien las cosas. Me he suscrito muchas gracias y espero seguir aprendiendo de usted. Saludos desde yucatan mexico
Muchas gracias, estoy feliz de que te haya gustado. Les deseo lo mejor para sus proyectos y bienvenidos al canal.
Hey brother this is my first comment on RUclips ever I’m in the Jersey pines and just started cold forging 3 months ago I’m working with 20 year old rebar that was used for holding down clam beds in egg harbor bay really cool when wire brushed clean you my friend have created a monster I now say let’s see how Gavin would bend it thanks buddy I appreciate you’re free coaching
Welcome to RUclips John, the internet is a good source for learning
I love you John (no homo)
Welcome to RUclips. I am now the first furry you've encountered UwU avoid us dude we're really weird
Hi John, an awesome first comment, it is great that you have found a supply of rebar and you can clean it up nicely, I am very happy you have found ideas in my videos, I wish you the best for your projects.
@@Dumb_Furry_UwU fair warning
Over 7 million views and great comments great for you I do read the comments ✔️
Thank you very much Dawn, I love your comments.
And now I know how to bend rebar into a knot lolz
Muito bom trabalho
Muito obrigado.
Pure genius Gavin! That’s my most used knot when I’m backpacking, bushcrafting, and other outdoorsy pursuits! Also a big fan of the bowline and the truckers hitch! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean? Ha! I guess that storm cooled it off in the rebar shop nicely? Thank Gav! Always love your shows! And Merry Christmas!
A huge thank you to you, I always appreciate your comments. This knot is also one of my main knots, I get the subtle hint Tom, I will have a play soon and see how I go. Merry Christmas to you and the family Tom, keep safe mate, we will chat in 2022.
I'll use this next time I misplace my welding tool.
Wow with your bare hands !
Hi Gavin,
Another nice knot! I'm going to try this one myself. I love the look of it all buffed up with the wire wheel. Hopefully, it will come out at least half as nice as yours did. Thanks for the video! Glad I found your channel.

Thank you very much, welcome to the channel, I wish you the best for your projects.
Another interesting one Gavin Cant wait to get into my shop in the new year and try to copy what you make look easy. I can see myself wasting a lot of rebar to get even close to what you can do. keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much Doug, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment. I am sure you will pick it up in no time. If I have bent rebar at a mark I try to never rebend at that mark again in another direction, I can bend it further in the same direction but not sideways it may crack, if you bend it too far and need to bend it back you will see what I mean. Bend it slowly and wider bends put less stress on the rebar. It took me a while to get used to working with it COLD, just have a play without trying to make anything and you will soon know how it works and what makes it crack or break, and the limits you have to work around to make something with it, if you are still having trouble heat is your friend. I wish you the best Merry Christmas to you and the family. Gavin
I find RUclips's algorithms pretty spot on these days, I do things kind of like this in my shop if I am not working on one of my vehicles. I live in palmer alaska so I spend most of my winter in there hiding from my kids. Thank the good lord spring is finally here🇺🇲
Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it, I wish you the best with your projects, Greetings from Australia.
Oddly beautiful to me
Great work! So relaxing to watch these videos. Keep up the good work and have a merry Christmas!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Looking really good Gavin, I’ve seen a couple of other RUclips videos from others that have tried to emulate what you have done ✅. One of them was a Russian guy, third I can’t remember the details sorry, keep going Gavin, have a great Christmas with you and your family, and we will look forward to seeing some more of your videos in the future….

That's fantastic !!!! Bending rebar without a bending machine !!!!!
I saw the thumbnail and was expecting you to heat up the rebar to make it bendable like a rope. Nope, just lots of creative cold bending. Very cool!
