Sensible advice Tubal , back in the 80s I used to work in industrial computer set ups and the cooling fans were huge you were forbidden to wear a tie or anything that could potentially strangle you whilst working on them back then ! works a treat dude never doubted it ! designed by a master craftsman…I would think that could come in handy for a lot of shop jobs ..cool 👍
dude i freaking love this tool idea the thing i think would make it even better is making interchangeable shaping dies to kind of push it in to the shape you need and you might even use wood blocks to test out die shapes ether way i love this tool thank you
Thanks man! Yeah I actually put a happer on it to try to push out the tucks! But it didn't work as well as I was expecting, but you can totally put other tools on here and use it as a press! I tacked the teeth on this because it was the first try of my idea and I wasn't sure how well it was going to work lol so you just watched me build the prototype basically. But I have the plans on my website if you want to make one beametalfabricator.com/product/metal-forming-tool-lever-machine-tucking-tool-for-sheet-metal-fabrication-diy-gathering-tool/
Also want to say nice work for highlighting hoodie cords as being a horrendous hazard. Same goes for long hair and baggy sleeves. CZcamsrs in general need to up their game in promoting safe work practices imho. Thanks bro you earned a sub 🤙
Thanks for the sub bro I really appreciate it! Also yes I agree altho I'm not the biggest safety guy lol but I do have a buddy that almost lost his life because of those draw strings!
Just a couple of ideas - first why not make a threaded insert so you can change tools in the hand built press easily instead of having to grind/cut one off and weld the next on, second how about an old wiper motor and linkage set up to operate the handle for the press to make a power hammer. I don't know much about bodywork but machines are always useful!
Yeah your right I want to make the does interchangable but I wanted to make sure my idea worked first. Also I have an idea for a power hammer I will be making a video about it soon! Thanks for watching bro!
Hello. I'm thinking that if you make the top die the same as the thumb nail die, like a V, and a flat bottom. One machine makes humps, the other shrinks them away 😀 / Anders
Nice video. How do you like your magnetic sheet metal brake? I’m considering getting one but am concerned about the reliability of the electronics, and how well it works.
Thanks man and yeah it works pretty good! I like it! She fires up every time I need her too. I've had it for about two year maybe a little longer. It has its limitations and it's advantages like everything. It's a super strong magnet
I like this tool lots of uses . The tuck tool .? I'm wondering what would happen to the tuck if a die was made for this tool that closed over the tuck . Think like thumbnail die . No reason a simple die in the tool wouldn't work .
@@BeAMetalFabricator the hardest part would be stopping the metal sliding forward when being compressed I would think. . If the top die resembled a shrinker die it may be more effective to hold the work in place ??
Yeah it could possibly work! Iv never seen anything do that before. That was the problem I was having with this hammer was it was slipping when trying to strategicly compress the tuck, when I would press it straight down it would almost just flatten back out, not as effective as I was hoping...
Dont you think it worked better then the tucking tool because tlyou can shink and strech.with the softer rubber. What if you put the hard rubber tire under the center where you had the soft rubber then you could get the best of both worlds
@@BeAMetalFabricator I really enjoy your videos. You're not afraid to think outside the box and your fabricating skills are superb. From what I understand, your craft is slowly going by the wayside due to after market prefabs. Is this true?
Thanks man and sorry for the late reply. Yes what I do is becoming a dieing art. I hope to inspire others including the youth to learn this craft and keep it alive! 🙏😁 Thanks for your support man!
YES SIR!!
Hoodie draw strings get cut off and thrown away 1st thing.

Thanks man! Yeah my buddy almost died from having those strings on his sweater so I figured I would put that in there.
Nice and quiet.
Those 2 tools and a Beverly shear, make for a quiet day.👍👍👍
Yeah they do! The other guys in the shop would appreciate that 😂😂
@@BeAMetalFabricator thanks again for sharing.

I used an arbor press and a steel ball. Yes switch between hard rubber and plywood
Nice! Yeah it works pretty good for stretching!
Vey cool concept. Hey, you gotta try and experiment.... always.
Right! Sometimes it don't work out but it's still fun to try it and document it
Sweet sweater tip.
That's what she said
Make the different heads swap out like a trailer hitch
Freaking good idea!

Boa noite meu amigo parabéns show de bola
Great idea but maybe consider design with interchangeable heads for the shrinking stteching and tucking... but overall its good
Yeah that's definitely an option! I just wanted to try it first, in case it didn't, I didn't go through the trouble of making them interchangable

That could possibly work!

Yeah that was going to be the next thing I wanted to try with this. I'm not sure if that would work either tho

What's the white coating on the jaw of your tucking tool?
It's called polymorph. Plastic that's malleable after hearing to like 100 degrees or something

Dude that's a brilliant idea! I didn't think of putting the tire under it!!😎👉 Good thinking bro!
Like the comment 👇 said interchangeable heads would top this tool. 🔥 Tubal!!!
Do you know another CZcams machinist has been using "Tubal Cain" for years?
Yeah I noticed after I started my CZcams channel. I think Mr Pete makes awesome videos. But I was born with my name
@BeAMetalFabricator Ha, well, that's a pretty good excuse! 👍
Did you experiment anymore with this?
Not really I have some ideas of some things I want to try but I haven't yet...

You will not know if you don't try it out.
Nice try.
