Today on Modern Builds I’m making DIY Steel Hairpin Legs for a live edge slab table I worked on with Johnny Brooke from Crafted Workshop and Cressel Anderson from Makercise. I wanted to show how simple it is to cold-bend steel rods to create custom sized / shaped legs rather than just buying a set on amazon. As an added touch, we painted the tips to add a more custom look. Make sure and check out the collab videos linked below, as well as the “intro to welding for woodworkers” video on my second channel.

Well this was bull
Really cool video. I made a set myself a few weeks ago using an oxy-acetylene torch to heat the round stock for bending. My jig was very similar to yours. I did make my top plates of of 2 pieces of flat plate that I tig welded into right angles. The biggest difference on mine is that I drilled through holes in the plate and pushed the legs through so I could weld both sides of the legs and then ground down the welds on top. They turned out really well.
No entendí lo que explicaban ,,pero muy buena patas
