Well, it did actually bend/curve slightly, I just leaned on it before I unclamped it, and it straightened out. While yanking on the end of the cheater bar, I had my other hand pressing forward on the head of the wrench, to try and keep it in place. Without doing that, It might have just folded over
It's for furniture. Not exactly sure what just yet, the most obvious thing would be for table legs, or maybe a tall lamp support or something. I more or less just wanted to know if it was possible, now that I know it is, I'll find a use for twisted tube for sure
The last part of this, is a little strange. I want to try putting this twisted tube inside of a round tube, (something cheap, like maybe chain-link fence tubes?) and then BENDING the round tube on a tubing bender with the twisted tube inside of it. I have no idea if that will work or not, the twisted tube may kink a bit? But I'm just exploring, seeing what I can and can't do. I don't have any round tubing dies to try it out just yet, but a friend of mine does, and said I could borrow them if I wanted. Obviously I'd have to carefully cut the fence tubing open to get the square tube out of it. It's just an idea, though I want to try it. I might also try tightly wrapping the twisted tube in maybe some towels or something, and putting that through a tube bender. I don't have as high hopes for that though. I think being inside of a round tube would have a better chance of working.
