Rebar Bender Cabinet

The "Rebar Bending Archive" is a mobile app for collectors of construction antiquities, reinforced concrete historians, and metalworking enthusiasts. It catalogs the hand tools and templates used to bend and shape rebar before the era of automated rebar processing machines. Organize your collection of tools that shaped the hidden framework of concrete—from hand crowbars and simple lever benders to cast-iron foot benders, from radius templates for bent rebar to saddle ties and spiral reinforcement fixtures, from heavy-duty bolt cutters to specialized wrenches for tightening couplings. Create a digital archive of the iron rebar that supports our world, documenting each tool's type, manufacturer, era, material, and the specific bending application for which it was designed.
