One projects where one side gets more heat/welds on it I’ve started to do a bit of flame straightening. A couple heat spots on the opposite side helps shrink that bow away in some situations.

Maybe I'm spoiled, but that laser cut finish is the absolute standard I've encountered in the industry the past 5+ years! Great grinding tips and skill. The 3-way radii corner you showed after "this just takes practice" is fantastic work. You showed it fast but it deserves appreciation. Preload - in my humble experience - is only applicable in production runs. Lock in the process, then lock in the preload, and run the series. Then the laser operator has to make sure all parts are always cut in the same direction. Preload in one-offs or low volume is gut feeling, honed after a thousand fucks-and-shits. Great work on the shots and editing. Another skill on it's own. Craftsman at work in both worlds. All the best!

Yes, I know I comment a lot, but I also forget a lot. Explaining the "bow"... saw that on TOT. Yes it happens. But as my father always told me, A true artist knows how to hide their ...mistakes... but as you said, you cannot stop the bow from happing. OH, ToT posted today. OK, lets see the end. This is going to be a tight fit. I made the same shelf, but with wood, and I made it tight also. Love the work, love the explainations. Jimmy Diresta uses the same saying my Dad said, If it looks straight, it is straight. Time to finish the vid.

I've got a guy that does my laser cutting and it's a real joy! Like yours you just can't feel any roughness on the edges. If the customer doesn't like that shiny corner, you can always hit it with Brownell's Cold Blue or similar. I love the look it gives to brass, personally, and it even darkens galvanized fasteners. That surprised me. Any Selenium Dioxide works, I'm told, but I just get a bottle of Cold Blue solution from the local hunting shops or the like.
@westweld

They seem to like the shiny corners, but im definitely going to try the cold blue on brass, never tried that
@trevorjarvis3050
@trevorjarvis3050 2 года назад
Imho.. Three Rivers Forge is spot on. Respectfully, Sir. Depending on your TIG welding abilities… Someday try TIG welding the corners with silicon bronze, LIGHTLY wire wheel the weld, then cold blue. No grinding, no polishing, just a raw patina stack of little dimes. It’s beautiful.
@threeriversforge1997
@threeriversforge1997 2 года назад
@@westweld Instant aging. I really like how it looks when I don't clean the brass/copper, just put it on and let it do it's thing. It goes from new to looking 50 years old. I think the shiny corners go really well with the lighter heads of the rivets on your shelf thing.

You probably know this but laying the grinder pad flat on the metal after you get close to finished will make it smooth as glass.

I have, on occasion, had luck with measuring the distortion and preloading to that dimension when doing multiple pieces. Sure would have been nice to have a formula but that would have taken all the fun out!

Yeah warpy steel not doing what you want. I'll usually try to put as little weld as possible without losing the strength but even then it can be hit or miss with the warping.

Hi. This looks very great. But, you say, you can’t straithen the part anymore. You can bring heat into the material with the autogenous flame. Then the component becomes straight again.

I get the preloading side of things. Let me know when you get it figured out. I surely don’t haven’t yet. I’m guessing this metal is too thin to consider flame straightening. Maybe another area that would mess up the finish.
@GmGrayfox
@GmGrayfox Год назад
Maybe a heat sink would’ve helped with the distortion a little. Coldish tig welds, since its not structural?

If I had it to do again I would have just bought my five axis water jet first... oh wait. Where in the hell would I get the revenue to pay for it? LOL. It's all iterative. If you can spring for a laser that cuts the materials you use start there. Otherwise a guy can get some really sweet cuts on plasma. Just takes a little more fussing to get it dialed in.
