Tool for bending TIG rod to make a TIG cotter

[Anton B]

Also, you could bend the first two bends in a vise, and then slip it in and do the rest of them.
Also note that inn the video, Brion is using silicon bronze rod, as opposed to stainless steel. It is likely that the bronze is easier to bend.

I know I'm late to this party, but I use bicycle spokes. Stainless steel, much harder to work with, but I have a ready free supply of them.
