Some things you might need:
Bench vice: amzn.to/3yRqLfH
Hammer: amzn.to/3cmnStS (the bigger, the better!)
That's it!

This DIY tutorial video gives a detailed look at how to make metal art using a few basic techniques and just one simple tool. By showing you how to bend rebar by hand, you can apply these same principles to other types of steel so you also know how to bend round stock/steel rod at home for your metalworking projects.

After first seeing the process of adding a simple curve to your steel, you will learn the to make complex multiple curves and hence know how to make your own metal sculpture. Finally, this video demonstrates how to bend steel rod to 90 degrees or other sharp angles so you can make precise shapes.
