worked out well. Watching you drill through the copper on the drill press reminded me of several helicopter moments I've had. Its one of those things you know you shouldn't do but we do it anyway :)
I bought Nigel's plans and intend to make this model thanks to your videos. Thanks for sharing! If only we could buy your castings; that would be so wonderful!
Awesome! I didn't expect such a good result. I have done something similar but used a piece from a soda can, which is made of thin aluminium and therefore easy to bend.
Will there be a turned finial or fancy acorn nut? Nicely made. The whole lamp post engine is rich in steampunk possibilities, i might put a full sized one in my hay field!
If you had the full size engine, you could mount a nice open frame dynamo to power a light. Might get tedious getting up to tend the boiler all through the night, though.
It's an interesting idea if you're going to make a few hundred of these things, otherwise a few minutes with a paner on a piece if wood and small hammer would get the job done in less time than it takes to model the print, let alone actually printing it. Good proof of concept though.
Making the female part of the tool is not so easy in wood. I prefer my way, guaranteed to mate together. I can 3D model the part quicker than you can carve it.

I like practical uses of 3D printers. This certainly is a good one. Thank you.
Awesome. Just what I was looking for!

Yes, I felt a certain tightening in my guts too. At least he had his fingertips completely on top of the plate, away from the edge!
I was also very scared the part would seize and start spinning, it's worse with brass but I've had my helicopter moments on copper too!
Appreciate you sharing your achievements.
I'm absolutely staggered that 3d printed parts were sufficiently strong to act as formers for that piece!
Thank you Master, I learned a lot from you about casting👍

Also I just noticed the valve within the lamp post body. Incredible!
Nice little video, love that lamp post engine, cheers!

You make it look easy ... lot of head scratching learning Cad tho.. thanks for sharing great use of 3d printing 👍
Thank you Sir ❗👍
Very Good Idea 👍👍👍👍👍
That turned out great, well done
Thank you. You have just doubled the work load I have outstanding on my kit car. :-).
Great technical ideas. I think polishing it after annealing and before bending would make polishing easier and improve the result.
Good old heatin' and a beatin'.
Wow, nice project!!

Finial is now made.

@@myfordboy Yeah!
The negative piece did not stick really well to the bed... but at the end it was still usable. Nice!
Nice! Though lifting may mean you need to clean bed by isopropyl again.
Genius!!!!
very cool.
That is such a useful tip!
Have you ever done any small lathe metal spinning? I have some cylinder covers to make.
Yes I have. Video here ruclips.net/video/TEyeOr-Iaac/видео.html
Fantastic
Very interesting. Would it still have worked without the annealing?
Easier if annealed but would probable been OK with this thickness of metal.
@@myfordboy thanks! I've only done it without, sounds like it'll be worth the extra step.
Very very cool....
Awesome! What is the thickness of that copper sheet?
0.75mm
It’s not awesome is it really ?
This is Good

How much infill? 100%? Cool project!
100%
Interesting. How thick is the copper you formed?
0.75mm
@@myfordboy Thankyou. Maybe I'll try something with this idea.
Mmmmm♡♡♡♡♡♡♡good
