this is the most innovative sheet metal forming tool I have seen recently, everyone talks about dishing out a concaved shape in a tree stump but your tool is more practical, it is not heavy like a stump, does not take much room to store, can be made in variety of sizes, and it works like a charm, my hat's off to you for thinking outside the box and come up with a simple most effective design.
Hello! Are you familiar with a method for stamping a thin metal foil, approximately 0.1mm thick, to achieve the same geometry as shown in the video? Your response would be greatly appreciated as it's crucial for my school project. Thank you very much!
This is probably a new guy question but what gauge sheet steel is that? I got some 22 gauge from a big-box store and tried what you're did. It's really slow going. I was wondering if it was just too heavy a gauge to be worked like that.
The metal I used is 20 gauge, so you shouldn't have any issues using the thinner 22 gauge metal. It just takes some time and patience...Thanks for the question!
@@jabberjawz 3:08 heats it up , lets it cool ,,, what would you be calling that procedure then , as he holds it in his hand to carry on cutting , its certainly not heat making it any more pliable ,,,,,,,,,, is it ??
@@jabberjawz Ah yes I see now , well done youve obviously gone and googled it . Thats great but you have unfortunately not actually understood what you have read ,, never worry the understanding will come with experience , look at it like this Knowledge is knowing that a Tomatoe is a fruit ,,, Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. The sheet in the video is at most 1mm probably .08mm which means that by the time he rested it on the bench and put his gloves on , it would be cold , or his gloves would melt . While heating steel to make it easier to move can be a huge benefit , clearly in this case it would make no odds at all , so Ill go back to my original question Why would you anneal mild steel .......... heres the clue when you google it this time , look at carbon content of mild steel / high carbon steel , and the effect it has on its working / machining properties . The whole process is very interesting and with a good understanding some headaches can be avoided , although mostly in home fab its not that vital a lot different in manufacturing of course. To give the guy a break and suppose hes actually normalising it , think of that as a mild anneal , its still pointless as its a brand new sheet but I guess it may just be a chance to show hes got a nice new torch .
@@paullee5573 Have a word with auto correct ,,, you say potatoe , I say tomatoe , but we can both agree Richard seems to fit you best of all. You have completely missed the point ,,, still its hard for you to grasp I guess.

Thanks. Like you said, you can make a bunch of different sizes and shapes, then throw them under your bench for when you need them!
Funny to see this it was one of the first things i learned on my education and after this we had to flatten it back
Holy crap. That's such a smart war to hammer a round half circle into steel
Wow, very creative way to shape. Interesting.... Will try. Thank you!
A lot of confidense
Great vid mate 👍🏻
“By hand” then uses a planishing hammer. Lol

In particular, the diameter is 25 mm
Im a first timer with everything, what is the tool or tool head called that you are using to create the circle?
this is Great. thanks a lot for this video.
Does brass have to be annealed in between hammering, like copper... does it work harden the same way?
Yes it does

HELLO, WERE YOU ANNEALING THE STEEL BEFORE USING THE SNIPS?
Why did you heat it. Was this to anneal it?
Just make the wood pattern and press it with a shop press and be done. No planishing needed. Work smarter , not harder
I dont actually grasp why you neep to chamfer the top ring of the former. Would someone please educate me on this.
why would you anneal mild steel

@@tomthompson7400 Wisdom is also knowing that the spelling of the singular of tomato is not tomatoe. So wind your neck in.

@@tomthompson7400 I refer not to pronunciation but rather to spelling. Check in your dictionary.
Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!
And for the final step, a $10k machine....
Can you buy this ? Planishing hammer?
Sure glad I have volume control. The music is super annoying.
THANKSGIVING
Turn on the vacuum!
Heated it up just to keep your hands warm?? Lol
'Metal shaping by hand' proceeds to use extensive workshop equipment and power tools
Your tablesaw technique is making me nervous. No push-stick, no riving-knife, and hands way too close. That's how you lose fingers, bro.
Counts fingers....all present. Phew!
Very nice video, thank you. Horrible music though. Take care :)
So much quicker and neater to simply press a block of rubber over a wooden form and have NO hammer marks. Far too time consuming.
Omg why the bad music
:O
@@TheGarageVlog lol
Screaming guitars over and over and over...had to stop watching. Rather smack my thumb repeatedly with a mallet for the same duration.
