Que ideia genial, fantástico parabéns
Show !!!!!!!!!!!
This channel will grow really fast
Haha...really fast...I get it...
A trilha sonora é foda, o trabalho é excepcional!!! 🇧🇷
Pretty slick! You are an artist, how in the heck do you make all that hammering sound like banjo music?
All kidding aside the Aluminum tank I got from you 5 or 6 years ago is still flawless. Thanks!
Yea. I was invited to the “Grand ‘ol Oprey” but I’m too backed up with work right now....
please tell me more about the black spreading devices for welding the seam with the butterfly nuts...love your work greetings from belgium
Yes. They are available thru body shop tool catalogs on the net.
Como que um mestre desses ainda com poucos inscritos !!! Bora ajudar 👍👍💪🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I only started this channel a little over a month ago. I would appreciate you spreading the good words.
Comecei este canal há pouco mais de um mês. Gostaria que você espalhasse as boas palavras.
Great Work !!!
What Kind of Aluminum and thickness do you use ?
Really hard to find 1100 pure aluminum. You either have to get it in zero hardness or anneal it soft. Subscribe and I’ll have an upcoming video showing a hack that few folks know...it goes by these thicknesses 1/16” or .064 or 16ga.
How much gas tank sports racal 150
Reminds me of a Moto Guzzi LeMans 850 tank.
Exelent,what is the cost of an aluminum motorcycle peanutank
$1600
Do you do any custom work by order?
Sorry I'm Full up on orders right now.
Hello master. What material is your mold made of? Thank you for answer.
I like 1100 soft or “0” hardness 1/16” thickness.
@@legendarydave333 Hello Master, please have a question. What is the accessory made of, what do you shape the aluminum sheet into?
Dave- What material are your bucks made from ?
3-d printed bucks using modified PLA filament.
@@legendarydave333 So we'd need an expensive 3D printer to duplicate what you're doing? Would a hand made MDF form work OK?
@@DirkWrightxyzwell I made mine from fiberglas 1/4-3/8” thick. I am sure MDF will not take the forces exerted on it.
What is it you’re trying to make?
I have all my tools for sale…
How much time do you spend in the hammering of one tank side? It seems like 2 hours roughly? Also, how often can you use the 3D printed mold? And what kind of Aluminium could be used? Only soft pure Aluminium or could 4083 work for example?
I stick to what I know. I use pure 1100 or 3003. I guess anything that u can anneal to “0” hardness.
Hello, do you accept orders ?
Sorry. Bidenomics has made it very difficult to cover our overhead so I had to shutter the business. Sorry.
@@aluminumshapingobsession2814 Understand ! I hope, it will changed soon! God bless you!
Rather than messing about with hammers, why not rubber pad form the tank parts?
If you had a decent size four post press you could do exactly that.
@@legendarydave333 Is that your production method? The female tool method seems very time-consuming?
@@humourless682 yes. There is no quick easy way to do this without industrial presses. Even using rubber over a male tool the aluminum will wrinkle.
A platten press uses a thick sheet to “pin” the metal flat around the edges which guides the metal over the edge as the press pushes or “draws” the sheet into the female or male tool. It keeps the metal from wrinkling. This is how deep draws are accomplished.
If you’re turning out hundreds of these at a time, that’s how to do it.
If doing a “one off” I’ve found this to be efficient.
@@legendarydave333 Mate of mine has been pressing tanks for 30 years. Just curious as to the reasoning behind 3D printed tooling? For a few pressings even plywood tools work fine and are very easy to make. Things like exhausts are simple to make using broaching, or male/female GRP tools. Your tanks look very good, but lots seem to now get sucked in by the very low prices of Indian and far east tanks ?
@@humourless682 I have a four post press for sale. I used to use that but I have more one off tanks these days.
