"Let's Build a Stairway to the Stars". Yes - played on the guitar I built out of sheet metal. The build is on KZbin, i think under Clarence plays The Steel Guitar Blues". Ain't workshops great!

Impressive work, but for a reflector to produce a quality beam the contour needs to be parabolic, not spherical. Really admire the effort put into this though. Kind regards!

Instead of using all the bolts, could you clamp the top and bottom plates, and of course the stock, in a Harbor Freight 20 ton hydraulic press?

No, since I don't have a 20 ton press. You could give it a try, though!

Superb film, thank you. Loved the run-through on the theory.

Thanks a lot for the grease idea! A few months ago I made my own version for a part of a Bauhaus lamp. With brass it took several passes with heat treatment in between - in the end it was a success! -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmbhXmcqZ6Sn8U

@poldiderbus33302 жыл бұрын
Yes, but the advantage of grease is that it is not creating leaks or losing pressure as easy as water. Also you can create pressures up to 300bar with a grease gun - and for pressurizing you just need your mussels. Last: Grease guns are quite cheap.
