Planishing Welds and Correcting Distortion

- Planishing the welds from my last video. I like to start on my planishing hammer until the weld is crushed and starting to come back to shape, and then finish out on the wheel. Before I started this process the weld area was nearly flat due to the weld shrinking as it cooled. In under 10 minutes the proper radius is back to matching the buck. Note-When working in aluminum I’ll often skip the planish hammer, and do that part by hand with hammer and dolly to avoid accidental over-stretching.
I cannot believe you have only 1k+ subscribers at this time. This is a great channel. That is a fantastic English wheel you have by the way.
Thank you! Yeah, that wheel might be my favorite possession. It took me years
to find, and then I had to coordinate getting it shipped half way across the country. It produces beautiful panels.
Stoked that you shared on IG that you had this RUclips page. I look forward to checking out and learning some stuff on your page. 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks Jesse! I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned following your work over the years 👍
You are the best Nick! 💎
Thanks Felipe!
You really should do more videos, you are so good at this. Two questions: do you start planishing while it still hot, and, what are are you listening to? its sounds good, its not Motorhead is it?
Thanks, I just try to do a little better each time. I never planish while the metal is hot for two main reasons: 1. The metal will continue shrink as it cools. I like to allow all of the shrinking to happen, so I can assess the panel and know where I need to focus my planishing efforts. 2. Hot metal moves way too easy, to controllably shape. You’ll likely overstretch the area.
I was listening to an old Nirvana concert on RUclips 👍
Can you chrome over the steel welds
Yes 👍
