Metal pressing
Having done some investigating courtesy of our friends at Google, it
seems that pressing metal sheet into useful shapes always involves costly die-making and huge presses. Is there any way to do it at home, with minimal equipment? I could fabricate form/die of wood and use a bottle jack for pressure, no? The pieces are not too big and the metal not too thick, under 1/8th inch. Any suggestions welcome. The project is a fully enclosed chaincase for a motorcycle. Ted -- Ted Bennett Portland, OR |
