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!

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.

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.

I bought a rollation cheap from an old sheet metal shop going out of business. I have my own shop and make these regularly. It's also called a jet pattern designer (at least that's what written on the tool with the patent number), I was told it's what sailors used on ships to fabricate parts at sea. The two ends have screw on rings to hold on the patterns. They also each pivot on an axis up to 45 degrees so you can make offset transitions as well. I make them in two equal halves and munch over and punch the sides instead of welding. I can fabricate one of these in about 20 minutes.
