Thanks for sharing your work, i just tried this today, to immitate the dash of my 79 trans am for a radio delete plate. I used i wire brush and it did not turn out as good as yours. I just ordered a Craytex stick and i am going to re-do my plate next week. Your video was a great help!
marvellous technique- filing that away for future reference. Laying up after using contact cement- when the glue is DRY, use poly plastic between, position part, remove poly- some people use strips of poly- which of course has to be really clean. Thanks again
That's some nice work! I've been looking for any type of guidance on how to get an engine turned finish and there's not too much out there; I'm afraid it's becoming a lost art.
This was a terrific video! I have a 67 Impala Super Sport with brushed aluminum interior parts. I think I am going to use this method on them for something a little different. How do you hold the sheet steady while also controlling the up and down motion of the mill?
@ripfree G'day... Nice clip. Good Technique. I've worked on a Replica Sopwith Pup, y'see. (Search '1975 Skycraft Scout' to see that.). My Dad's Uncle trained on Pups in 1918. (Search 'ANZAC Day -Long Version'). I'm unaware of ANY Pups, in Service, with Machine-Turned Panels. It was a Post-War US Fashion, see James Stewart in Spirit of St Louis. Why didn't you glue a Cork to a Hand-Drill, & use Lamp-Black as an Abrasive ? That's the traditional way... Ciao !
