I want steel toed crocs but I can't buy them. That's a crime against humanity that I want to rectify. In this video I show how I developed wooden tooling that with a bit of refinement could be used to mass produce steel toe crocs.
These videos usually take 100+ hours of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: / stuffmadehere

My 2 cents
1st, You are damn good in what you are doing and I loved your video
2) I would take that wood block shapes and cast aluminum blocks from them that will be much cheaper to do if you use some scrap alu for the job.
A home alu casting setup cost next to nothing and that will expend your visions unlimited.
This guy does a thing and the metal doesn't fold. czcams.com/video/p_hb-KfuB6M/video.html Don't know if this helps. Also, in manufacturing they often pre-bend the sheet metal to help hold it in the die, as well as align it properly. Maybe a combination of dies would work better?
You know you have to make him a pair and send it to him now.

be the first to do it with kevlar :) easyer to shape, might even work - then the outside can be fully covered, you just want the croccy insides anyway

It's amazing how much your life will change when your relationship with failure changes.
@@michaelkappel8224 honestly
The key to avoid the folding is to make it in steps, increasing the depth of the mold each time. I think there is even theoretical formula to know how many steps you have to do.
Like how aluminium cans are made!
Yea you need to look up a cold working formula to find the number of steps.
@@thatsomeone3818 but he wants to do it in one press because…. It’s faster!
The alternative is more force. If you clamp with 50ton, it doesn't slide as much, the metal stretches more around the form. So more lube, and clamping force will help. Second the time taken to press affects the amount of stretch v slip.

I used to work in an automotive press shop. We made parts for BMW. From my experience I can tell you that pressing the part in one go is not the best method. The way the presses worked in the automotive field is that they used a step method. The part was stamped out bit by bit using large rolls of sheet metal. The stamp would come down on one part of the metal & make a shape into it. Then the moulds would open up on top & bottom & the sheet metal would me moved along to the next stamp. So on & so forth until the final part was clipped off at the end of the run. This would prevent the metal from buckling & would provide a nice consistent form The extra scraps of metal would fall off into a conveyor system where it would be routed to a metal collection bin that would then be remelted & reformed into new sheets of metal. Nothing went to waste.

This was very interesting to watch, especially as a tool and die maker! Loved watching the trial and error! It's honestly the best way to learn. Draw dies are definitely the most complicated dies to design! Impressive even more still as you were able to accomplish this using wood! Love this channel! I think I've watched all your videos now! Looking forward to seeing what's next!
a tool and what maker
when that weight fell off at the shelf at 0:17 , I instinctively moved my foot and stubbed my toe into my desk...
same, wtf bro, I've been getting this more lately with similar video footage and I never did before. Is my brain growing more stupid as I grow old?
Wouldn't that mean you moved your foot into the way?
I wonder what actually happened after the cams cut
I did that while seeing a movie with my girlfriend a few years ago.. there was an underwater scene and I was eating popcorn and when they surfaced and took a deep breath I did too and I inhaled popcorn and started choking really badly.
She saved my ass and when everything calmed down she asked wtf happened and I explained and she was like "Wtf... you're an absolute fucking moron." I was like "Nooo! The movie was just super immersive. They did their job. So did I. I stand by my near death experience."
I still do. I'm now single.
No regrets!
Wouldn't have happened if you were wearing steel-toed Crocs!
when he realizes he has to make another tool for the left foot
Underrated
Just mirror it
I guess just break the left foot to the right
Shhhhhh... Don't tell him yet, he can figure it out on his own. His IQ is bigger than Mount Everest, he'll figure it out.
Really he could probably do it quite well with one tool that has both left and right in a sort of kidney shape. He already added that extra lump on the back to balance the form, might as well make that off cut lump useful.
I love seeing your iterative process, and I totally relate with this sort of side project that is maybe a little bit useless, but still teaches you a lot about a process that you can carry forward.
As a mechanical engineer, I think it's pretty cool to see how you iteratively come to a process that's very similar to standard drawing and forming presses! Especially that hold-down plate to prevent material bunching up during the drawing step. Kudos! 😀👊🛠️
Oh, and there's a good chance by now that you're already aware of this process and this comment is superfluous, but check out sheet hydroforming. You only need one side of the blanks, cover it with a (tightly clamped) sheet of metal, which is forced onto the blanks by some construction involving generally a rubber diaphragm or bellows. It's pretty cool! 😊
Outta take a gander at ‘I Did A Thing’ and his steel toed crocs

@@Ididathing Lol you replied
Is it only a coincidence that this channel looks like it's going to be the second sub 1 year old channel I've found in the early stages of massive channel growth, and they've both made videos about steel toed Crocs? I don't think so.
I did a thing LMAOOOOO hey 👋
@@Ididathing hows the lizards
I'm surprised no one in the comments has mentioned "draw beads". Draw beads are bumps overwhich the metal is pulled on the edge of the form to put resistance to pulling it in. Not stop it from pulling it in, just resistance, so that the metal is under a lot of tension, which helps it stretch better without wrinkling. Go look it up. As a student, I once worked in a research lab that investigated the effect of different lubricants on draw bead friction. The auto industry spends a lot of money on this.
You should get verified too Matt.
Wouldn’t heating up the sheet metal work aswell?
@@bubba7849 Yeah, it would reduce the elasticity of the metal, therefore a larger strain with a smaller stress, aka it will just deform more with less force, as heating the metal would increase atomic kinetic energy, increasing the interatomic distance and thus the interatomic forces decrease - allowing for the metal to be more ductile and this characteristic determines how well the metal deform s under stress.
Quite fascinating how heat can be used to harden metals as well as soften, and both have so many uses.
@@bubba7849 Ask a blacksmith or an armorer. We deal with this sort of stuff all the time. Even hot metal thickens on the inside edge and thins on the outside edge when bent. Look up some videos on chasing and repousse...you will see how it is done old school.
So it looks like that would be similar to what he did at 11:48, minus the actualbead part. As a current engineering student who enjoys your videos, I'm curious what did you go to school for?
One of the easiest ways to help control the buckling or wrinkles is to remove material from the area. Put a semi-circular cut-out in the areas with the wrinkling. Less material in the area of the wrinkling gives all that "extra" material somewhere to go with folding over. Experiment with how big the semi-circle should be to make sure that the edge of the circle isn't pulled into a part of the final shape that you care about. Depending on the exact contour, this may lead to the wrinkles forming in the toe portion rather than the clamped area. As Matthias mentioned, draw beads are a huge help in cases like this, especially since you have the capability to machine them in. Since the bead touches the sheet metal first, as you clamp the die together it will hold that area in place and force more of the surrounding metal into the form. This helps spread the distribution of material that you're pulling so that it's not just all the "easy" material at the wrinkle point. More resistance to movement means less flow of material, but be careful not to clamp it too severely or the sheet metal will neck down and eventually split.
I love how this channel is the epitome of overengineering. Mid-video I realised this would probably take a few hours for a blacksmith to make.

You are so right about this part 15:32. In designing stuff you have to ambrace failure. I know it can be hard for some but I would say to become a good designer in general one must to learn to fail fast to get to the end goal. We shouldn’t spend too much time trying to think if the prototypes along the way are finished or not becouse we just want the end product to work.
Embracing failure is one of the ten design heuristics I live by and apply it to my own business
11:05 , 13:48 , 16:16 , 17:38 love watching the creases form. Its so cool to think how many things deform in this way- clothing when you bend your knees and elbows, towles hanging on a rack, paper you crumple up, etc; all follow the pattern of buckling/folding. I guess this must be the cheapest way for the universe to deform flat surfaces or something? Its so cool

Yeah, i was thinking he would have had a lot more success if he tried to do both in one press, like a kidney bowl. I think you would get a better form because the pressure would be spread over a larger surface area.

3 things you might want to look into the next time: blank shape has a big impact (doesn't need to be square - might be squiggly shaped). To get rid of wrinkles, you want to stretch the material OUTSIDE of the final part you want to make. Blank holding is actually quite important (draw beads, clamp force, bla bla bla).
I love how you got actually nice quality parts from such a simple tool . I really really like how you get to your result and that you show the iterations.

I did pneumatic forming with wooden forms in my college metalworking class. Annealing the metal, bolting it to the form, and then hardening it afterwards makes the process SO much easier. That lets the metal actually stretch and form, and then you can harden and temper it however you want at the end.

Nice work.
Lesson to be learned from WWI. German helmets stopped bullets. Ours did not.
Multiple pressings. Each going a little deeper, each time. Plus soapy water.
This led to a more even wall thickness. So bullets to the forehead, temples, etc .... were stopped.
Maybe that would fix your issue w/ folding/bunching up.
I look forward to seeing more of your work!

So I make my own custom bending and forming jigs out of steel for mass production.. this is really exciting seeing how someone else makes their forms.. the more you make these forms it will become second nature where it usually works after the initial idea..
The first form dies were made out of wood, and they were used in smith shops. It could be argued that the first mass production elements (scaled for the day) were made in there.
History ... Not studied any more!
I dreamed about steel toe Crocs since I first started wearing them in the shop. I can't believe I'm not alone. Will definitely buy ones..

young stalin i see you
I come from aircraft engineering so I’m more of an aluminum guy, but we would typically use annealed stock for a formed part with radii that tight, and then use the work hardening itself or tempering to hit specs. I’d reason that you would still run into some issues if you fully annealed the stock at the start just based off the gauge you’re going with, but if you started with an initial rig that is similar to what you have going, I’d say you could take it three quarters the way to your ideal shape and avoid buckling. From there you could trim to your final dimensions, hit it with a quick torch anneal (benefits of it seeing a croc and not an aircraft haha), and then pop it into a final forming block (a registration pattern of some sort would be helpful) that would set your final dimensions and work harden it back to steel toe territory. Would hopefully avoid a lot of springback related calculations, and would mostly just give you an excuse to put a mirror polish on those bad boys!
Anyways, just figured I’d throw my hat into the ring! Who doesn’t love a little armchair manufacturing engineering? 😂 Love the videos!
But for this he would need different equipment right? In order to anneal wouldnt he need some kind of metal oven?

@@stockphotosguy6037 I feel ya
That was a nice bit of education. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@stockphotosguy6037 when you bend or harden metal, you leave a lot of stored stress in the metal. Stored stress makes metal hard, which also makes it difficult to bend. Making the metal really hot, keeping it hot for a while, and then letting it cool really slowly gets rid of the stored stress. With less stress, the metal is easier to bend. The process of heating, holding, and slow cooling metal to remove the stored stresses is called annealing.
There's actually more to it involving the crystal structure of the metal, but that's the easiest explanation for layman's terms.

hahah i kinda was thinking already it would fold in between that little crack when you went with all steel plates. Pretty cool project!
I've made (heavy) fiberglass dies to do steel and aluminum pressings. I've pressed pieces up to two square feet. I have a large-platen 100 ton press. It's mostly a matter of location and keeping the material in place with pins. One thing that makes the pressing easier is to use low strength "tryout" steel. Only about 30kpsi yield, so it forms easily.

So what you are doing is soft forming.... in a way, just a tip, your "tool" is pt so its harder than your punch, the crop form in other words. Add a 90° bend to the outside of the stock use that bend as a clamping area that will force the material to stretch rather than pull. If the material pulls you'll have some good and some bad parts. Try AMS 5510 around 30 thousands. With my suggested method in combo with your methods you should have a 25-27. Thousands thick steel toe. I did a lot of forming,machining, and sheet metal work but thus I enjoyed the video! One more recommendation is pick 2 different materials. One vastly stronger than the other. I recommend using pressure treated for the punch, and steel for the tool. Ideally heat treat your tool steel to prevent wear and tear
Big science words make me head hurt
Big brain words no fit in penut brain
Who are you friend?
Is my understanding correct in that you want to make the material thinner rather than drawing it in from the sides? I can see that drawing the sheet to be smaller in length would easily make creases.
@@thetedmang Thats @ZiggsEdits !
I would pay large sums of money 💰 for this as a commercial product. I'd love to see a part two!
I know this is an old comment but you can find them if you search "steel toe clogs"
Usually it's advised to lubricate the seel sheet + the steel top and bottom plates, and the mold, to reduce creasing. And probably springback too.
Didn’t “I did a thing” also make steel toed crocs?
Yes. Very, very, VERY badly compared to this.
@@medicmike2836 the whole point of I did of thing is to do weird things very badly to disappoint viewers
@@medicmike2836 i agree. very badly
@@Ididathing hey I recognize you but I do not know fom where
@@prestonshaw5391 Not really disappoint. Though I did a thing usually doesn't care about the end product, his videos are for the purpose of entertainment(so the end product tends to be bad because that looks funny). Which is totally fine. His focus is just shifted towards entertainment and I have to say that I did find his videos very entertaining.
Is no one going to talk about the poptarts just sitting on the table. That's the most genuine part of this whole project.
Fascinating video. Would love to see you make a suit or armor with the same general thought process/techniques
I think it's hilarious that your wife makes all these things and you take the credit for it.
What, where is your evidence?
Plot twist: He's actually using an aging filter the whole time.
1:00 is his real face and age.
It was uncanny how much that looked like him.
“What, does it look like I’m made of money” as ad plays
Still kinda ironic
As he sits in front of very, very expensive machines not many have access to
Clayton Eifert my step dad owns tons of farming equipment and still aint rich
100k Subs with no videos challenge Fair point, and your father most likely won’t be “rich” until the end of his lifetime, or at least until he can’t do the work. At least that was the case for my grandfather.
Skyler Reynolds Most likely, but I thought the shot was just set up in such a way that it would make for a funny gag. It looked intentional, and I thought it was pretty harmless
I just came here from the Robot Chainsaw Death Machine video. Aside from trying to figure out how you go from looking 19 in 2020 to married with kid #2 on the way in 2021, I'm really enjoying the content. I'm also a big fan of "Use the tools to have to make the tool you need." Great work; keep it up! (Also, the videos are a lot more fun when engage with the audience. The new format is great.)
Really love all your videos, you are such an innovative engineering spark.
One thing I'm not sure if you're heard but...usually shoes have a left and right foot...😋
Great content, please keep it up.
No face. Nothing wrong with your face (I’d trade), but I like the hands-only video style. You’ve got a good formula, I say stick to it.
Splestrie I did a thing is similar you may enjoy him!
Actually he made steel toed crocs as well :)
Ollie Watches Jojo Second hit “I did a thing tampon gun”. Will investigate soonest.
Splestrie Nice I hope you enjoy mate.
Splestrie wait he just uploaded a couple minutes ago
"the novelty factor might be worth it - is a smart mans way of saying, lets do it for the memes"
Great content bro! Keep up the amazing work!
You might try annealing the metal before pressing it into the form. The metal will stiffen up as soon it is pressed into the form.
Hello, i may be a little late on this comment, but on your wooden press, wood is realy good at handelling compression, as long as the compression happends in the dirrection of the grains, think of them like a bundle of matches, if you press down on the tip of a match, it wont brake that easy, but if you press down at the side of a match it snaps. its the same thing with the wood itself.
So if you try to mass produce steel toad crocks in a wooden press, keep that in mind.
this is important

Being an engineer, I think he knows
Steel toad
Do you think it's possible light travels at different speeds in opposite directions?

"Does it look like I'm made of money..." cuts to ad lmaoooo I love that😂
That Tormach answers that question with a resounding yes.
It cut to a ad for a bank for me
My ad blocker ruined the joke!
@@thebigtimechannel9927 lol
I dont even have an ad blocker and still didnt get it
Some thoughts I had mid way through the video:
Would it be of any use to prototype molds with thinner gauge metal, or even aluminum foil?
Perhaps adding some relief cuts in the blank would remedy the “bunching up” problem
Maybe you could try forming metal preheated in an oven or use annealed stock
i cant believe no one ever told you to take a torch and HEAT UP THE METAL. makes it waaaaaay more malleable.
One suggestion: You could design it so that you purposefully allow crumpling to happen at the back end (the part that you are going to cut off anyway) so that all the pressure will be dissipated to that spot making the parts that matter crumple less.
When he did the "Continue in part 2" I quickly went to check if he posted it already.. yeah I got pranked..
same
We all got played
And his wife didnt get pranked this time. Unusual twist.
I cussed him out then apologize
I just checked how much was left of the video, noticed it was a lot and understood it was a joke. Also I'm a self-titled professional CZcams watcher.
Hi. I think I've seen all your shows. And was going to comment tonight, but just read some of your viewers comments and I have to agree with them. ' Keep up the good work '
Cool. Looking forward to part 2. Consider heating the metal. I'm not taking into account that it will be weaker.
