Thanks so much, Tony. I didn't realize I was making another dustpan, but I guess it could be. In fact, I could attach a 6-inch diameter vacuum hose to the round end, and it would be self-cleaning!

This is such a great tutorial. The pattern and the bending jig made the process so much better, and each were pretty simple to make. Years ago someone told me that fixtures, jigs, and patterns saved time and made things easier, but that hasn't sunk in until watching your videos. So many times I would try to put something together without any of that, and just flounder....or get sidetracked spending more time or money on the tools for the job than the actual job itself. You have such a good balance of that. You're inspiring me to think about the process more. Thank you!

Mostly commercial HVAC ductwork and miles of gutter and flashings. I had an aptitude for geometry so I almost always found it interesting and challenging. It was a small shop so I got the chance to do it all-detailing, fabrication, installation. Eventually got into service, design, estimating, and contracting from my own shop.

So happy to finally see this. Had to put this one on “Watch later” for today, and it was worth the wait! Thanks again. I’m hooked.

You teach me so much, enjoy learning from your video's. I took one of your courses years ago in New Paltz NY and have been using the techniques ever since. Thank you so much for sharing!

That was a LONG time ago, when I taught in upstate New York! Glad you remember!

Ron having recently discovered your videos, I am renewed in my interest in metal. I have built hot rods and 4x4 stuff my entire life. I started sanding cars when I was 6 with my dad. He chopped Mercs and built motors and did his own paint and pinstripe. I enjoy working with my sons. 50 now and while my time will wind down, my 23 and 18 year old sons are just getting going. I have shown them your channel and look forward to doing these projects with them. You are truly an inspiration. Thank You

Eric - it's so important that we continue the chain of handing down this important knowledge to the next generation. I'm glad you are doing your part!

You make it look so easy! Love your little scribe, again it's so simple most would over engineer something that produced the same result. The rolation process is so simple, the scope of what could be done is endless, like lobster back bends incorporating reducer, rather than the bend then a reducer/ transition. I've been watching your videos for a while and have learnt so much, the earlier ones were using an English wheel, I had no idea what they did till then. I have done transitions from round to square using a pan brake. Thanks for sharing your skills. Regards from Oz, Dennis.

Great reminder! Thank you. Very early in my engineering career I design and built both cement mixers and garbage trucks. We did it usually CAD. YOU CAN IMAGINE that the drum of a cement mixer is just a dome connected to numerous cones. I took a sizable number of designs by hand drawings and put them in CAD and then fine tuned the numbers using true calculations and added in Bend Allowance calculation depending the type of bends or rolling process. I would bet the first cement mixers were developed the same way you layed out. Good memories of creating systems and a quality product. Unfortunately it did not pay very much. Keep up the great work.
