You just reminded me of something , or rather someone. Some people just seem to have a natural ability, and 30 years later I cant even remember his name. He couldnt read or write, and everyone regarded him as a dumb dumb. However I was in charge of farm maintainance , and several times I would built something, and it would work, then he would come along and suggest a re design, that only required half the moving parts, and worked better. After pointing these things out, it became so obvious that you wonder why you didnt think of it yourself. I tried so hard to get him to gain an education, and an engineering degree, but dont know if he ever did. These events also taught me to be more humble, and consider anyones input on the things I do. Having said all this , I dont hold degrees in anything, just self taught at making things with whatever I can find.

to minimize warping, start by running a shallow bead the opposite way then turn it over and push it back through the other side this will pre stretch the panel and the second bead will offset the warping from the first.

Like the bead roller results. Bead rolling panels before shaping is a good idea, but you need to plan carefully if you are going to need to make bends in a bending brake.

If you're going to make dyes out of aluminum I think you'll find they'll be a bit soft for the job. That's why the one's that came with it are steel instead of something lighter. Softer metals will wear out much sooner than the steel ones.

@puddinsfabshop has a trick for press-based dimple dies. After he presses it (IIRC) he turns the panel over and presses it the other way to straighten it out. I might be a little off in the details, but it's something like that. I was trying to find a video where he demonstrates it, but haven't yet. It was a while ago.
@kevind5508 Жыл бұрын
What he does is flip the piece over and place it on a flat surface so the dimple sticks up. Places the bottom die upside down on it and presses it flat

A great example of terrible aerodynamics that are overcome by horsepower is Leroy, one of Cleetus McFarland's drag racing cars. It has loads of power, but is a tube chassis car. They took it to a wind tunnel a while go to find out just how horrible it was. Great car, but hindered by what makes it unique. Anyway, The bit of beadrolls and dimples that you've done so far look fantastic!
@OliverPickard Жыл бұрын
Yeah it's fine in a drag car where you aren't racing in a class limited by power and you can just add boost to compensate but in a road car you'd be adding weight in fuel and cooling to make the power just to push tubes around in contrast the 1964 Panhard CD lemans cars hit 140+mph with just 70bhp

If heater designers , were standing by everytime someone had to remove one they would be regularly getting beat up, for causing such a nightmare. On my ford, removing the heater core , requires removing the entire dash, and steering column. However, if it had a little door, with four screws , you could take it out without removing anything.

Hi guys. Still loving this build! Can you explain why 33deg is the magic number to offset the dimple dies by? Does the shape of the panel not dictate where the strength needs to be and therefore where the dimples need to be? Thanks for taking the time to take us along on this journey!
@OliverPickard Жыл бұрын
33 degrees is very much a nice safe rule of thumb and makes sure you have plenty of material between your dies to distribute forces evenly because ofcorse it's the metal that distributes load not the holes and then choose the size of the dies depending on the shape of your panel
