if i wind two pieces together, how many times can it bend before it snaps?

This wire is very durable, and can be bent back and forth many times without breaking. The actual number of times the wire can be bent before breaking is quite variable, and greatly depends on the amount of tension placed on the wire. Small samples of this wire in various gauges can be obtained at no cost to US customers from Blick Art Materials for testing its durability before making a puchase.

There is two possibilities here, Mr. Me. The first and most likely is that, when one side is not turned enough and you begin to turn another side, the tension will cause a piece or two to go flying. Don't worry, 99% of the time the pieces are fine and will pop right back in. The second possibility, though less likely, is that you received a cube that should have been picked out by quality control. If this is the case, contact the seller directly and explain. Just keep in mind that there is a language barrier so you email should be kept brief and direct.I hope this helpsW.G

I just bent a sample piece, it will do it, if properly adjusted. But if thats a thickness you will bend a lot a press brake may be a better option. I will add that I have been very happy with this brake. Its perfect for the home shop and I have done some nice work for my race car with it!

This probably would t be any sturdier. It's very pliable. We made bird nest necklaces at a functions and it worked good for that but we need pliable wire to wind. Hope this helps.

I have bent mine a couple of times in my knapsack and bent it back. the spork is strong to say the least, however I dont recommend bending it a hundred times.

If you are thinking of taking them apart and joining two together to make one large hoop, I don't think there is enough flex in the wood to do that without breaking

I don't know as I've never tried to break it. It's a hard acrylic so I would think it would take quite a bit to do so. Check with their customer service and they can answer that question.

It looks like the one piece should slit into two, but; rather than pulling that apart, you want to slide/rotate the entire peace to the one direction. There should be a top and bottom that slide opposing directions.

They come in separate pieces, so if you're assembling it for the first time, then yes; you can use only 2 if you wish. But if you've already attached all 3 together, they'll be pretty much impossible to separate without breaking.

Just once. It takes a while to have to do it 3-4 times. I only use it because I have trouble with shuffling

Very flexible. You can bent this without problem. You can do this practically 180 degree

It actually snaps apart so you can shorten it but the pieces that come off break easily. My daughter snapped it in half.

You need to bend the poles. It is easiest if you have two people doing one at a time.

Yeah, I've bent mine many times. You can even take them off if you feel the need.

Thanks, but not sure how that would work... you're supposed to take a 'piece' of line, double it over, and loop the middle of the piece around the reel and then start turning the reel to wind it on. Guess I'll just take a LONG piece and if I waste some, so be it.

If you watch the video they show an example of that. You can glue 2 pieces together but make sure you use the correct glue. Do not use PVC pipe glue.

While it is very easy to bend and shape even without tools, it may not hold it's shape under the weight of the material you use to cover the lampshade. It might work if you twisted multiple strands together, but if someone bumped it or you dropped it on the floor, it would most likely bend. I use it for armatures for stop motion animation because it is so light weight and easy to bend with your fingers.
