Power Pipe Make Helper

I have been a power pipe nut for latest several years, always wanting to make a nice pipe for my old saws to let them work again in wood. So showing here is a very simple and easy pipe-make-helper for straight and corn pipes. What you need in the operation is some of your muscle labor to it, so I am afraid you will be disappointed if you expect very decent and precision work with this tool, lol.

For straight pipes;
Cut out a rectangle pipe;
Attachment 23189

Add L angle bars, and a couple of round bar, been cut in the same length;
Attachment 23178

Make a couple of spacers. Their sizes are up to the sizes of the pipes in your project, but should not be too large, like the one you use for air ventilation of a house.
Attachment 23179

Place the spacers at the both ends;
Attachment 23180

Attachment 23181


For cones;
Widen one of the ends;
Attachment 23183

Buy a baseball bat, lol.
Attachment 23185

Give it a nice cut and shape it up!;
Attachment 23188


(will post how I use it later...)

For straight pipes;

Place the spacers at both ends and lay a sheet metal on it;
Attachment 23190

Put another round bar on it and give it some press evenly;
Attachment 23191

Press it step by step, this side and the other side evenly;
Attachment 23192

Some patient work needed, lol.
Attachment 23193

For a tad bigger pipe;

Use a couple of bigger spacers;
Attachment 23194

Bigger pipe needs a bigger pressing bar, so wrap some aluminium film onto it if needed;
Attachment 23195

For cones;

Give the sheet some cuts first;
Attachment 23201

Give the both ends some curb with the tool;
Attachment 23202

Then roll it with hands,
Attachment 23203

Place the shaped-up-baseball-bat into the cone and roll it well with good pressure.
Add some mallet work if needed;
Attachment 23204

I mostly do this job with 0.5mm thick steel sheet, which allows me easier job than 0.8mm thick.
Attachment 23205

Glad if this can be of some help to you!
Thank you for watching.
