This is one of the best videos I have seen on this. Great work! I will be watching more! A glass of bourbon was a nice way to finish off a day of metalwork
Thank you very much sir! Really like what I’m seeing on your channel! I’ll definitely be tuning in. Oh yes, a nice bourbon is an excellent cap off for a days work in the shop!
Thank you so much. You know I am in my final year of engineering and want to submit project I need to do embossing on material. I talked to companies and local workshops to do this but they are telling more price then expected but thanks to you and your guidance I will do it by myself know. This is so simple then I expected 😅.
This demonstration was performed with 20g aluminum, which was very easy to persuade with the corking tool. I’d say 20g steel and 18g aluminum would work very well with this strategy. This demonstration piece was formed at about 1/4 depth. While deeper embossing it certainly possible, it also puts the material at risk of warping and tearing. Whatever you have in mind, give it a try. If it doesn’t work, it’s a valuable lesson!
I have another questions..if you don't have a $2,000+ bead roller and needed to put in a square pressed section that has a bevelled edge...45 degrees...how do you do that? Would you need to somehow make the form out of three MDF pieces with the middle peice have the edge cut off with a 45 degree angled jigsaw, glued then to the base and that way you could air hammer that bevelled square shape? Cheers mate...
You’re on the right track. If the 45 degree bevel is critical, then having that feature cut into the mdf would be necessary to remain consistent. Depending on the depth of the pressed section, alittle heat in the corners with a torch may be necessary to help stretch the steel into the form you desire.
Nice job...quick question..could you use an air chisel and do the job quicker or would it be more difficult to control having a higher rpm of hits against the sheetmetal? I'm looking at doing the same thing as I don't have a bead roller but I do have a new air chisel and was wondering if doing dies and embossing in sheetmetal like this could be done with that tool.
Thank you for watching! You absolutely can form the metal with an air hammer, especially with forming thicker sheet metal. I would ensure the die your using on the air hammer accommodates the form your achieving, and I’d also install an air regulator on the hammer to keep from overstretching or damaging the metal.
I'm impressed with your handwriting before even watching the video.
You mean my chicken scratchings? Haha thank you sir, i appreciate it!
@@TheHotRodWorkshop A lot of natural style in your scratchings.

@@TheHotRodWorkshop thank you!
Another great one. Huge fan of these videos. Thank you for taking the time to put them together.
Thank you for watching Phil! Really appreciate the support!
Speaking quietly, hammering BANG BANG

Glad I could be of service! Thank you very much for watching!
Nice work.
Thanks for sharing.
I just subscribed.
Take care, Ed.
Thank you!
Great idea
Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍😎👍👍
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
Another thing to try is to rub it rather than hit it. It will smooth things out better at the end.
I’ll definitely give that a try!
Doggo earned you a like.
Great stuff Ry!
Thanks Steve!
Why do you need the bolts? Can it be accomplished with just clamps or glue?
how thick sheet metal will this work with and how deep can you emboss?

You say 'utilize' way too much, the rest of us just say 'use'.
wayyyyy to slow
