In this video, we demonstrate a practical technique shared by TV personality and fabricator Jesse James for annealing aluminum. If you've ever had trouble annealing aluminum to the perfect temperature before hammering, this trick will change your game.
By coating the aluminum with soot using a candle or acetylene torch, you can easily find the optimal temperature. Simply heat the aluminum until the soot burns off, indicating it's ready for shaping. This method ensures your aluminum is perfectly soft without needing expensive tools.
Join us as we demonstrate this simple yet effective technique and take your metalworking skills to the next level. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more tips and tricks :)
