What aluminium alloy are you using? I tried to do something similar with a 5052 0.020"and a greater diameter, but I am still struggling.
Great video now I know what I'm going to do this weekend
jhust pure chinese junk, thats right chinese call lincoln ask them to source internal parts my brand new 200 doesnt work and they wont stand behind it
Good video. Thank you. One thing you didn't explain... Once you taped the tuck and you were ready to flatten it, you switched hammers. Why? How was one hammer different than the other one?
Just thought you can put circular bucks in a lathe, and have your way with it!
Thank you for making a very well produced video and sharing your skills!
Could you make a donut shaped piece of brass plate with that?
It would definitely help with the process. Thanks!
All that , and can't heat your shop ?
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you, you are welcome!
Thank you for not speeding up ur video. Really helped to see the full process.
Hmm. Doesn’t anyone anneal metal anymore?
Yes we do. I anneal when I need too. Annealing is like any tool, sometimes you need it sometimes you don’t.
👍👍
BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE SEEN A NEW VIDEO, HOPE EVERYTHING IS WELL WITH YOU
I am a luthier interested in forming metal sound plates similar to violin backs in brass ,aluminum and steel.I need to create a shallow dish shaped form to hammer into. I'm wondering if a bondo type material might be suitable for this. Your video was useful and I will view more .
How much time and money could've been saved if only CZcams was available in the 80`s. I`ve been stuck, pissing away my life behind a computer for the past twenty-seven years, doing a job I can`t stand. If you can`t find something that appeals to you now days, and via CZcams, well... you might just be lazy! Best to you and yours for sharing this!
What is the name of this white business tou used to model metal ?
can this be done with stainless steel sheet? i know that ss is much harder than alum but wondering if this is possible
Yes, stainless will obviously require more effort.
I'm planning on making a fire pit about three feet round. Would you first make a small bowl. Then weld a larger ring and then stretch it to eventually get it three feet across or would you do it all in one piece? Great video. Got my stump and the bowl made and I had the wood hammers. I've been shrinking all kinds of stuff.
Fantastic video. Is there calculation for what size you start with to get the the size of a bowl? My bowl's work hardens and I normalize them. Seems to work easier and doesn't crack. Is this the way they make those bullet that the 50's cars had on their bumpers. I do this 1/2 at a time and weld them together.So far not so good but I'm getting better.
brilliant thank you
You have the best channel for metal shaping and tips hands down !
Молодец,очень хорошо показал процесс. Спасибо большое за хорошее видео!👍
Did you anneal the aluminum? ( acetylene )
Good explanation and examples of trapping the tuck. Thanks man! 👍🍻
Did you do a video on the planishing and welding this onto the other part? Nice little demonstration
Imbecile
Great Videos thank you. Can you tell me how many pounds of birdshot goes in that donut?
Hey @snapfabrications, what grade and type of cold rolled steel do you use? Like a A1008 CS Aluminum Killer, Im having a hard time finding this stuff locally. Thanks for the great information!
your camera won't stop on fucus ...
Thanks, you are really helping me out. You have the skills.
My wife said "why are you watching this? You already have a shrinking stump."
Incrivel parabéns amigo
Hi new sub here, great vid with good instructions. Will you please do a vid with brass sheet shaping? I need to make a buttplate for a 1730 era musket. 3mm brass.
Thank you.
Forgot to add that I read someplace two layers of paper towel and one layer of tissue paper were nearly as effective as a medical mask . I wish I could find the source now.
Good on ya Joe!
If you want CZcams viewers to take you seriously, please don’t play Benny Hill goofball music...?
How many hammer blows to your fingers before you perfected the art of hammering ? Been there, done that, and even spent several nights there. LOL Great video, very detailed info...
in the carpenter trade (dont hit the wrong nail)
hi that was very well dun
any link where to buy that hammer you using.?
What kind of wood is the stump? I would think you would want a hardwood of some sort. Thanks for the great video.
Todd Elliott Yes, hardwood is preferable. Oak would be great if you can get it. This stump was from a large elm tee I had cut down I let it dry out for a few years before putting it to use. I have two large solid elm stumps that are about 10 years old now. They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. A solid stump that is allowed to dry out slowly will work and will last.
Snap Fabrications thanks! I think I’ll make one for the school. I appreciate your prompt response.
Thank you!
Wow thank you! Great basic info!!
Thats benny hill fool
Why use that music..everything was perfict and informative. .
I have done a little metal shaping and would have used a sand bag and started in the middle and worked my way out...just saying.
Trev Cessna172 There are many ways to shape metal this is one technique for “shrinking” the edge of metal. What you are describing is obviously stretching metal. We use different tools and different techniques when necessary to do the job. I have probably 15 different shot bags in my shop of varying sizes and purposes. Even shot bags that are designed for shrinking like with a dished stump. If you are not using shrinking methods in your metal shaping you’re missing out...just saying.
All us machinists thank you :)
Do you have info I would like to get one of these
