- In this video, I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar, without using heat.
The knot is called a Prusik 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 and a bench vise.

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.

WOW! You know of course, this makes you the champion of the world in rebar knot tying! You were definitely equal to my challenge! I’ve thought about this a lot over the past week, and I figured you might have to bend one turn on each side, then the second on each side etc. on account of interference, but you made it look simple doing one side at a time! I am in awe of your talents, and the fact that you use nothing more than an old bolt and a piece of pipe makes you all the more remarkable! Thanks for accepting and aceing my challenge! I’m inclined to challenge you to do a rebar monkeys fist next, but I know next week you’d have worked yourself to death, and there would be a new video! I’m just not that evil of a person though, so I’ll refrain from issuing that challenge! Thanks Gavin! You are truly remarkable!
Thank you very much Tom, what a lovely comment I really appreciate it. Thank you for your Prusik knot challenge, I am glad you liked the finished product. I have put the Monkeys fist on my list and will have a play when I get time. (I have pinned your comment to the top of the comments list). Thank's again mate.
@@GavinClarkdiy I’m pulling for you, and heat would be totally acceptable when attempting the monkeys fist! Stay safe, stay well! I’ll be watching!

Aa
ooooo
While I'm mesmerized by your steel bending, it's worth mentioning the first rate quality of your videography and editing. You wasted not one second of my time and left me feeling like this is something I want to try out. Thank you!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
686 people were knot impressed.
I was, though! Thumbs up from me!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. You are the one I wanted to like it. Thank you for your comment. Hahaha
to Tom : You are a special person, a professional and you love your job - so you passed the challenge
I dislike dpecial kids
I love when I feel inspired by a video, and I feel inspired by this one! How incredible! Thank you for walking us through it!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
As a SM worker, I have bent a few pcs of rebar in my time, but never a knot.
Very impressive, well done sir!!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
I'm a wood worker not a metal worker but you sure have sparked an interest in exploring metal work.
Looks like the way to make a good hinge for a farm gate!
It would look awesome on the gate.
Dad, I've tried this, and you make it look a 100 times easier. Complete respect. You keep well 👌
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Keep practicing, it is only time on the tools that makes us better. Thank you for your comment.
✨ excelente ✨
👏👏👏👏👏
This would make awesome gate hinges
Came by accident, ended up staying for the entire video. Who knew I'd be fascinated watching you create this by hand... but I was. Nice video,. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
Love yor thought process and patience , a true tradesman that definitely puts the younger guys to shame
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
This is the kind of thing that's stuck in my head all day.
Thank you very much. I have many of these things stuck in my head all the time.
乖哦哦的
@@user-jg8zc1pk9v 非常感谢你。

@@GavinClarkdiy than all like my friends.
It's awesome to see things done the old way. Brute force , pounding , it's true art.
I do my knots all the time , it helps keep me sharp. You really have to think three dimensionally.
I love this, thank you.
Thank you very much, I agree with you I appreciate your comment, it is a good thing to have to think about what you are doing, not just straight cuts, I wish you the best for your projects.
Bravo! I get why you did it.
It's fortunate to learn from people like you.

Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it. Greetings from Australia.
Интересное решение. Я сразу и не догадался, что всё так просто )
Спасибо большое. Да, многое можно сделать по-разному, все это очень интересно.
Great test of 3-dimensional reasoning.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
What amazing job I've watched multiple videos that you have posted all of the amazing work.
As a retired ironworker from Seattle ,I am
glad i never had to tie rebar this way on the job . Tie wire
is so much easier.LOL
Nice job on the rebar .
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Yes Tie wire is a much better thing to use. Thank you for your comment.
This is why I love RUclips, just last night I was wondering how the hell I would tie a knot in rebar 🤔
Hahaha now you know. Thank you for your comment.
Lol!
Доброй ночи, два вопроса откуда у вас арматура не ржавая, и почему горелкой не нагреть, легче и ровнее загнется???
Я купил их у поставщика стали здесь, в Австралии, я вручную отбираю сталь, чтобы получить лучшее, что могу. Я использую самые простые инструменты, если могу, поэтому не использую тепло, если у меня его нет. Спасибо за ваш комментарий
I'm totally amazed you did it completely cold, in awe actually!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
OMG! Simply amazing. I tried several times fighting on it with more or less success and i suspected it is a creation ocasion. Nice!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Когда коту делать нечего он яйца лижет
Если он не может лизать свои яйца, он сгибает сталь в узлы
Impressive.Thank you for sharing your talents.
Wow, never would have thought of using copper to generate the fulcrum point... It seems to work well with low diameter rebar. Thanks Gavin. I learned something today.
I only used it because I had it here and it fitted well, I have since made a good strong bar for bending this small rebar and the copper was bending too much. Thank you for your comment.
As a 30 yr. union line clearance tree trimmer this is a knot I used every time I climbed. You had me scratching my head as to how you would do it….Great Job!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate your comment.
Brilliant stuff! It´s great when the video is as long as it needs to be and no more, but with all the essential information given clearly. Thank you so much- I´m going to try this in silver (not 7mm!)
Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your project.
Symmetrically perfection! The tiny adjustments are the mark of a pro. Fun to watch, thanks.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
The Amount of springs ive made by hand & on spring machines
26yrs a springmaker - Springsteel leaf plate & rod heattreated right last as tools
Its how i learnt to make the tools to coil & form special jobs was the key .
This REbarb knot hes making - colletts I made to hold wire on mandril's & coil on lathe then bend on a dia acrow type bender
But we worked 8hrs a day so making 1 these at home this was fun to watch a good job Gavin
Thank you very much Mark, I appreciate your comment.
Una obra maestra !!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Gracias por compartirlo!

Muchas gracias, estoy feliz de que te haya gustado. Saludos desde Australia.
I've never seen this before now. I understand the material. I understand the physics involved. I understand the process. With all that I still don't believe my own eyes. This is fantastic! Thank you for showing this.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, I appreciate your comment.
Bending rebar like it was licorice rope - wow. And the finished piece is a work of art.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Awesome, really enjoyed that, i was imagining how i would do it, and all my ideas were wrong. Still it was fun watching someone who knows what they're doing, achieve this. Look really good, thank you. And good luck to all the metal workers out there.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. It's a lot of fun doing these things.
Wow! Thiss will make a beautiful and functional hinge or pivot for rustic projects. Thanks. Be Well and Good Journey Richie
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I agree it would fit in very nice with anything rustic.
Rebar Prusik: Something I never expected to see ... ever!
Me neither, but it's nice to try new things. I made it because I was asked if I could. I will bend the ends up and make a hook, I plan to use two of these knots with hooks in a project with 1/2 inch rebar making a wall hanger for coats.
That was brilliant mate. Never seen that done before.
Thank you very much Stewart, I am glad you liked it.
Great stuff Tom, to be having 12 minutes of good common sense and not over thinking.. thanks 👍 stuff FROM LONDON 🇬🇧🆘
Thank you very much Gary I am glad you like my work. Greetings from Australia.
I'm definitely scratching my head trying to think of all of the uses cabinet handles barbecue pit handles man you got my wheels turning
Much love from Tulia Texas out on the farm 🚜
Thank you very much, You will think of something, I wish you the best for your project. Greetings from Australia.
Позитивный такой человек, настраивает на доброту
Большое спасибо, я ценю ваш комментарий.
I keep picturing a balcony railing made of these rebar knots.
Really nice work.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. They would look awesome along a balcony.
Gavin, such a pleasure watching a skilled tradesman such as yourself.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Can't believe I watched this to the end. Impressive work 👏🏾
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
And you protected your eyes from any flying metal chips. You are a good one to watch, Thank you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. We must always protect our eyes. Thank you for your comment.
Really appreciated this video. It inspired me to try making a similar knot out of silver rope for a bail on a stone pendant. I used 4 loops instead of 6.
Thank you very much, I like the sound of what you are making and wish you the best for your project.
Love the way you choke the hammer, it validates my own habit.
Yes I am guilty of that, when tapping these things, unless I have to hit things hard, then I hold it the correct way. As long as the job gets done it does not matter (well that's what I think) Thank you for your comment.
Don't listen to your trade school teacher!
All tradesmen choke the hammer sometimes. The length of your grip varies the power/control.
that would make a cool piece of a gate hinge
Yes, I agree it would look mean as a gate hinge.
Superbe travail, tout fait main. Pas besoin de CNC, de lasers, etc ….du savoir faire, un bon coup d’œil et des mains en or. Bravo.
Merci beaucoup, j'apprécie votre commentaire.
your effort is really what one could call - THE ARE OF DETERMINATION. and you succeeded. nice job to be honest
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
gotta say, I'm really enjoying these knots you're doing with rebar. I think I'm gonna have a go at one in a project on my own channel soon, this is sparking a lot of ideas.
Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your project.
I figured it out at about the halfway point. Very well done.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Great idea, Gavin!. That's a hard work, but it's an awesome product too. Thank you for sharing. 👌 👌 👌 Take care!.
Thank you Eider, I appreciate your comment.
Not sure why I watched this but it was awesome!!!! Great Job!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Excellent workmanship! And a good idea for rustic cabinet feature/hinge. This knot turned out really well!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Brilliant, you make it look so easy.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Nice design for a home made hinge and a lot of other projects.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Yes it could have many uses, and look good in them all. Thank you for your comment.
wonderful job, really like what you did with simple rebar
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Mastery! It's always gratifying to watch a good skill, and moreso when it's full-on ROCK'nROLL!
I'm just willing to bet you could do a sheepshank or a monkey-ball (monkey-fist in some jurisictions ;) )
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. I have looked at doing a monkey-fist and have it on my list, but other than faking it (cutting bits and welding them), I don't think I could do it, I have put your Sheepshank on my list now too, I will have a think about it, thank you for your suggestion.

Just want to say that I am a welder Andy masonry and concrete I'm around rebar all the time using it that was one heck of a job true Craftsman good work Tom
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
I can't believe that I almost watched this video to the end I need a like!!!
I will give you one, Thank you.
Now that is a work of art..🇨🇦
Just plain fantastic great job 👍
That would be neat on a desk as a business card holder for adverts...🤔
WOW Peter that is an awesome idea, I may make something using using your idea, Thank you very much
Thank you for lesson. Its beautiful. 👍🏻
Thank you very much.
thank you Tom ;)
esto es increíble!! muchas gracias señor!
Muchas gracias, agradezco tu comentario.
I work with bar everyday your giving me ideas
Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your projects
Loved seeing this in large scale with steel. Did you know you re-invented the spring in a 2,000 year old fibula broach? You didn't quite do it the same way it's done for jewelry. That technique has a trick twist around, instead of your bending together, that creates the arc. It all stays on a long rod until the end. First you make the wrap like you did, then jump over the first spring to the point you measured, creating the arc, then you wind in the reverse direction away from the center, ending with that end pointing in the opposite direction. Then you rotate the end back to the center from that arc distance you measured. I'm very impressed how great yours looks. It's not easy in bronze wire and you did it in rebar!
Thank you very much Mike, I appreciate your comment, I think I understand what you are saying but can't imagine how it all goes together in the end, you can't put a link on here but I would love it if you would send me photo's or even a video of it if you could please, do you do much jewellery work? This is my email. gwclark111@gmail.com
That looked fun thanks for the video. I think its important to have more challenges for each other not only to stop being lazy but to keep our minds going all the time. Thank you
I agree 100% with what you said. We do need to keep doing things that make us think and keep our minds active, and to do new things at times is a good thing, you get a very uplifting feeling when you finish something that you at first thought would be difficult to do.
@@GavinClarkdiy my very thought exactly.
These would make really cool kitchen drawer handles!
That would look nice!
cool... just great. greetings from Nicargua. Thank you Professor for sharing your knowledge
Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it. Greetings from Australia.
Cuando un forjador de metal utiliza guantes ....es un TECNICO DEL HIERRO .....😉👍
Excelente ....muy buenoooooo.
Muchas gracias, me alegro que les haya gustado.
@@GavinClarkdiy excelente video .....muy perfecto ....👍
Captivating..enjoyed it...didn't know you could bend that far without heat.
Thank you very much. Sometimes they want to crack, and you can never bend it back too far if you over bend it. Heat is always the answer, if doing it cold does not work. Thank you for your comment.
Nice job, that is some serious man-handling of that rebar and very satisfying to watch the process.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Great work. A pair of those would make a decorative set of hinges.
They would look good as hinges. Thank you for your comment.
Appreciate your detailed steps
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Looks good Gav. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing what else you cone up with. This looks like a good channel to watch with my looming retirement and plenty of hours to kill in my shed.
Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your retirement. Welcome to the channel.
Very unique and creative. Outstanding!
I've always said if you can see it in your mind, you can do it.
I totally agree with that statement "if you can see it in your mind, you can do it." If you can see the finished product in your mind before you start, it makes the job much easier. Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Once again brute force and persistence. pays off
Yes, and if that doesn't work get a bigger hammer, Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
A good challenge Great job as always my friend thanks. Thanks Tom for the request.👍👍
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
You’re welcome George! Although reading the comments makes me feel like I’ve created a monster! Ha! Stay well!
Awesome skill !

Now that's what I need to put on my rustic bench for leg's
That sounds like a great plan.
That is so cool if I seen this in a store I would buy one
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
it's so perfect. Thanks
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.

A fantastic height adjusting pot holder for the vertical side of a campfire spit!
Yes and it do the job nicely, would look great too, thank you for your comment.
Eso esta muy bien que Dios lo siga bendiciendo siempre 🙏🙏
Muchas gracias, estoy feliz de que te haya gustado. Te deseo lo mejor también.
Would be usefull as a hinge ... cool idea .
that was really interesting how you did it with the vise and what a good ole vise that is.....and your brain....that is remarkable
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Auctually, bending a 7mm rebar is more easier than 10mm rebar. I tried bending a 10mm rebar and faileds. I’m going to try it again until a 10mm Rebar Prusik Knot is made by me look really nice like your, sir.@Gavin !
Thank you very much for your videos, sir, mr.Gavin ! You inspire me so much !
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. If you keep having trouble try using heat. Unless you see a flame in my video it is cold and not heat-treated in any way. But 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. Some things will need heat to get the bend I need because it is too hard/big to bend or I do not want hammer marks in it. Thank you for your comment. I wish you the best for your project.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. 😁
You are a true craftsman! Keep the videos coming; I will keep watching!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Seguimos Aprendiendo Contigo, Un abrazo y muchas Bendiciones.
Muchas gracias, me alegro que les haya gustado.
These could be used for very interesting rustic hinges. Well done!
Thank you very much. Yes I agree they would look great
Most delightful video I've seen in ages, can't wait to give it a try!
Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your project.
Thanks. I enjoyed watching you push, pull, squirm, work, and puff. I saw myself doing and enjoying all that, even if just for the challenge. And I appreciate all your explanations and how you bring the viewer into the strategy your following.
And now what? I mean, what will you use it for, if anything?
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. It is a knot for art only, I made it because I was asked if I could. I will bend the ends up and make a hook, I plan to use the hook in a project with 1/2 inch rebar making a wall hanger.
