Very clear. Thank you for putting this together. I'll give it a go soon because I had some welding done that induced some distortion. I was just going to whack it with a hammer - thanks for showing what would have happened 😀 For sure, there's a massive gap between theory and practice but at least I know the path 😆 Again, thank you!
You're very welcome. However, if you've had welding done and there's distortion you're now dealing with shrinkage, not stretches. You can deal with it the same way because in either instance you have more metal than you need but it would be better if you can stretch the welds rather than ,further shrinking the unwanted shrinks. This is why you will hear me saying, look after the shape, time and again. Weld distortion needs to be controlled as the welding is done or you get what you're facing. It isn't always easy and sometimes it's impossible but usually it can be limited.
Thanks. Not so much education but I do a fair bit of public speaking and it ranges from very technical content for engineers to presenting to school kids and retired folks. Mostly on the Bluebird Project but not always.
Great explanation.
Thanks...👍
Very interesting, thanks for explaining further. 👍
Very welcome. thanks for watching.👍
Liked that. Straight forward skill sharing 👍😎
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.
A great demonstration to explain the process. Thank you, much appreciated
Glad it was useful. if there's anything else you'd like to know don't be backwards in coming forwards.
Metal stretching would be a good tutorial to go with this one, TIA.
Lots of different ways to stretch metal. Any preference?
@@TheBluebirdProject Any method using hand tools would be good, thinking in terms of things that I can practice.
Nice one 👍🏴😉
Thanks ✌
Great video, very interesting, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Spot on tutorial Bill.
Glad you liked it, Pete. You should visit the Kerosene Café again next summer.
@@TheBluebirdProjectWill do.

Very well articulated. Are you involved in education outside of the team doing the restoration projects? I’m sure they’ll be learning a lot from you!

@ nice. It so important than skills and interest in engineering is not lost
