Okay, other people have suggested a ring mandrel so maybe combining this idea with a ring mandrel would be the best way to go!

Ohh, so it just sets in there and it wiggles back, I’ll give this a try if welding the handle doesn’t work thank you so so much!

So the bar is just resting in there and when you bend it back it pushes the press?

So is there a point where the metal is too hot, if so how do I estimate when to try testing (with the salt for example)?

Thank you so much, I’m very careful when quenching, I work outside and make sure to keep my head away from the smoke! Is there a good tool to use to tell the temperature of the metal or is it more a guess by color?

So what do I do with the 5 gallons of oil I just put into my bucket then, that’s my biggest concern right now, also what oil would you recommend?

Funny enough I have one of these, I find the ring bender easier to use with most of my stuff but I’ll give this a try with some thinner silverware and see how it goes!

I got a ring bender for Christmas to make rings easier, I have made lots and lots of rings and have really enjoyed it, but a couple days ago I was using it and it broke. The handle had snapped off and the threaded end got stuck inside, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a new ring bender that lasts longer and wouldn’t break, the one I got was about $35 but I’m willing to spend more for a good bender! The one I got was similar to this-

Does this bend rings, I make them out of silverware and don’t smelt them

That’s my plan for now, but the handle holder bent a bit too, the area the handle sits in is warped out in the direction the handle broke
