    The most valuable lesson you shared in the video was that the rear reverse curve panel was your 3rd attempt before reaching a result you were happy with, but you learned a lot in the process. So many believe that these skills come easily to people who have been in the trade for a long period of time, but in reality they are just more willing to put the repetitive work in and extract what they did wrong so the next piece is better. Awesome video as always, Thank you!

    I have always been impressed by people who make a curvy part out of a flat sheet of metal - and you are no exception. You work calmly and explain what you are doing and why. As usual, a pleasure to watch.

    I just have to say again that your method of explanation and patient demonstration suits my brain to a tee! I watch fabricators use shrinkers and stretchers and the English wheel but you explain the "why" a part needs each method. Thank you Ron!

    True craftsmanship as always!!
    But it brought up the suppressed memory of fabricating a replacement faring for an antique aircraft. After five or six attempts, we finally declared success. Then someone took it upon themselves to clean up our ‘mess’ and tossed all of our ‘failed attempts’ in the scrap bin. We ended up making another, but it was never as good as the legendary lost one.

    Watching the three videos to date I'm getting the sense of the English wheel more and more, in that seeing you the craftsman manipulate the metal to do what you need it to do.
    Been there many times when I modified a part to see it throw up another problem, that needs to be overcome and seeing a better way of doing it again if needed. When it goes right great or if it goes wrong I've learned.
    Fantastic videos and thank you for the many videos you share, Ron.

The sides are just slightly reverse but the top has a BUNCH of reverse in it especially where it curves from horizontal to vertical...kinda scares me a little.. will probably ruin a lot of metal until I get it just right... hopefully this video will apply to my cowl project..I bought a pair of your stretcher shrinker gages for my Lancasters...haven't used them yet but excited for the opportunity to. Love your work. Please keep the videos coming!

    Ron, there are some very accomplished and skilled metalshapers on youtube, but NONE of them come close to explaining concepts the way you do, so clear and concise. Thanks! A question: you mentioned the "hump" that forms behind a shrink when using the Lancaster shrinkers. When shaping a double curvature panel and one edge happens to not lie down, you can either stretch the rest of the panel or shrink that edge. But if choosing to shrink the edge, you inevitably (unless the edge is raised only for a half inch or so) will cause the area back of the shrink to be in that hump zone and therefore not be lying flat on the panel/buck. How do you deal with this raised area - assuming you want to use shrinking to get the edge to lie down?

    • @RonCovell
      @RonCovell  ปีที่แล้ว

      First of all, thanks for the kind words!
      When you have to shrink an edge, and get a hump inboard, you can often work the hump down by hammering off-dolly. There is a limit to how much of a hump you can reduce this way, but you can get a little more 'action' in a couple of ways. One is to over-shrink the edge, since the edge may want to stretch out a little bit if you do heavy shrinking inboard. Another approach is to anneal the metal that needs to be shrunk by hammering off-dolly, or work it at elevated temperature.
      Hope this helps!

    This is an awesome project. I'm reminded of a recent inter-island flight where the commercial airline's passenger seats weren't much more than upholstered bomber seat pans similar to what you're constructing. A huge benefit being that the passenger behind you couldn't jab your back with anything since the pan was continuous.
    My question is, it appears you've organized the material sections according to major curves of the seat pan shape. The pieces of material often span multiple buck sections. Hypothetically, a student of your crafty methods here could make smaller sections of material, many of which would be square pices that span from one buck section to the next in both directions, shape that piece accordingly and then perhaps make up for the ease of shaping by overloading the welding tasks section of the project a bit.
    Anyway, I imagine a beginner could start with a buck that used about twice as many sections and then start with smaller patterns and work with smaller sections of material and this would be beneficial up to a point where the pieces get so small that the worker lacks the hand leverage to manipulate the material well in the shaping tools.
    Perhaps in a future video you could address this in a FAQ post bomber seat series video? Thanks.

    • @RonCovell
      @RonCovell  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Greg - when starting a new project, one of the first questions any metalshaper asks is: How many pieces should I make this part in, and where should I place the joints? In general, as a person develops more skill with shaping, the size of their panels increases, and the number of pieces decreases.
      To take this to a ridiculous extreme, you could make any shape buy starting with a large number of 1-inch square pieces of metal. The shaping of each piece would be trivial, but the enormous amount of fitting, welding, and smoothing of the welds would make this pretty unfeasible.
      On the other hand, trying to make a complete car from one piece of metal is equally ridiculous. So the calculation is based mostly on weighing the difficulty of shaping with the complications of welding and smoothing. I chose 6 pieces for this seat - some might choose 3 or 12.
      Regarding the PLACEMENT of the joints, I generally position them in the center of the areas of greatest curvature. This way, the difficulty of shaping is divided more equally between the panels.
      I hope this helps!

    same 20 odd people downvoted this video as last 2 videos lol, whats to downvote? Ron is just trying to teach the amazing skills of working sheet metal and what can be made. What not to love about that? Love the honesty about it takiing 3 tries. Most only show the good jobs and not the mistakes.

    Ron, the shrinking leaves a mark on the edge of the part. Is that deep enough to be a concern, or is it more a scuffing that polishes out relatively easily?

    • @RonCovell
      @RonCovell  ปีที่แล้ว

      The marks can be sanded or filed out, but as you'll see on this project, I left enough of a margin on each of the panels that the majority of the marks will be trimmed off before the parts are joined together.

      @@RonCovell Does that mean that the panels will relax a bit when the 'shrunk' bit is trimmed off?

    • @RonCovell
      @RonCovell  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. I didn't get much 'relaxation' on these panels - probably because of the extensive wheeling I did on both the shrunken area, and the area adjacent to where it was shrunk.

    Did you anneal all six pieces? Also could the aluminum be annealed with map gas or propane?

    • @RonCovell
      @RonCovell  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I annealed all the pieces, and yes, propane and map (or mapp) gas have a flame hot enough to anneal this grade of aluminum, which requires about 800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 427 degrees Celsius.

      Well, I partner with the 'Spring' company for the shirts in my store, and they have limited offerings. If you 'really' want a shirt like mine, contact me at covell@cruzio.com

      @michaelwilliams2827 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@RonCovell thanks for the offer. I only "kinda" want one and I tend to be a cheap SOB. But that may mean other folks have the same want. It looks like a great work shirt so I thought selling it might work for you and was surprised when the product you display so regularly was not available.

      Well, the most common advanced degree (past a BA) in the studio arts is the Master of Arts degree (MA). More exclusive than that is the Master of Fine Arts degree (MFA). You can get a PhD in Art History, but not in the studio arts.
