Cool Tools | Die Forming without a Press by Robert Dancik

[@Babette17C]

Boy, were my eyes opened to the new possibilities. Thank you, Robert!

[@radar536]

You are a very good teacher. Not everyone that masters a technique can explain it.

[@kevinmullner4280]

I´m putting a question under your comment because it´s on the top and hopefully somedody can help me out. No insult here. I´m no native english speaker and do not know every term so far, so: What the heck is this Fullbone, Foolbore, Fummbunn or whatever? i couldn´t find it in the shop either. Subs would really help me out. Or somebody who knows what that material exactly is or at least how it´s written. Thanks a lot. The video is really good. I´ve subbed immediately.

[@dbaider9467]

Robert Dancik, you have a great teaching style. The right guy in the right job.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I couldn't agree more - he's excellent isn't he?

[@Lisa-yj8dt]

This is a very fun technique with a lot of possibilities. I love the instructor's clear teaching style. I look forward to trying this. Thank you for sharing!

[@bobsmith-hd2hi]

clear teaching style = i'm fond of his verbiage

A lot of useful information packed in 14 minutes. Thanks.

I always learn great tips from watching you - thank you!❤

Thank you for the perfect video ✨🧡

[@princessleiajjb]

This is mind blowing! I just learned how to use the hydraulic press, but now it seems so silly and unnecessary if we could just use a vise instead! Thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge!!!

[@grezek]

They make large aluminum sheet parts for aircraft on a rubber press the same way. Thanks, this is a great idea using a bench vice,

[@carolynb.7455]

Excellent tutorial. The technique is clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

[@rochellebg]

Die press on a budget! Brilliant technique! Thank you for sharing.

[@thibodeaux99]

Can’t wait to try this out. I want a press but as you said, they’re not cheap. Thank you for sharing.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Excellent and engaging tutorial, thank you so much Robert. As we say here in the UK, you can come again! 🤗😬

[@teresafierro1789]

Excelente técnica. Gracias. Lamentablemente no incluyo la lista de materiales, tampoco están activados los subtitulos en todos los idiomas , no todos hablan el inglés y KZbin se ve en todo el mundo.

[@Theresa-z2h]

Brilliant, how did you do the bezel one? Couldn't quite hear what you said. Exactly what I need to make for a project. Thank you

Thanks Robert, I’m looking forward to trying this! I’m gald to see you are doing well 😃

What size vise do you need for doing die forming? Thanks!

[@conniebrown7542]

What type of rubber did you use? When you cut the center out of that one piece, did you do that before you beveled or after?

[@RCBOSS1969]

Thank you!

[@leesass3602]

Cool Tools doesn't sell the rubber or the thick Faux bone that he demonstrated that I could find and navigating the website is awkward and difficult I just gave up. To bad I guess I will have to find a way to do it without their products

[@saratempleton5261]

Use the search option. Both come up.

[@jensonmajor1191]

Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Is there anything I could use in place of the faux bone?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, we are unaware of any other product similar to Faux Bone. You can find Faux Bone here: cooltools.us/collections/faux-bone%E2%84%A2?Finishes%20&%20Embellishments Thanks for watching!

[@hairyballbastic8943]

I'm gonna try this but with recycled HDPE plastic

[@tench745]

A vice is just a horizontal screw-press, so, you’re still using a press. Forming without a press would be hammer-forming. The rest of the video is very useful die-forming info; thank you for sharing!

[@marcolaterza1051]

Hello! Do you know which is the minimum thickness you can forming with this technique? Because I have to do a dome shape with an alluminium foil thick of 0.2 mm...

[@AHustleIsLikeASideOfFries]

Not sure what scale he's using for 'very expensive', but I know a guy that forms custom speaker grills with a similar technique. He uses a simple H-press from Harbor Freight and MDF forms. I just looked, they have a 12-ton one for $170. They also have a 1-ton desktop arbor press for just $65. The throat of the arbor press and vice is small for sure, but that 12-ton model is only limited by width. I like the vice technique, will use it sometime for sure.

[@jkb8748]

This was a really helpful video. - just what I need to do. But it would be more helpful if you put some of the details in the comments or printed on screen. I’m new to this area, but I could not understand that you were saying “Faux Bone” or where to find it at Cool Toolls.

U can even simply push with a tool in puncheon without a press here. Even a more complex shapes can be made with a tin also.

[@pamkriner5945]

So, you’ll have to creat your own dies? Could this technique be used with pancake dies? I’m assuming you cannot use impression dies typically used on a press?

[@valeriejewell5136]

I have used a hardboard (masonite) with brass plate

I imagine that the press used for vulcanizing rubber could also work without the heat.

[@stasysliskevicius4040]

i wouldn't.. maybe with additional steel for protection, but probably not worth it

[@frederickbowdler8169]

You can also use a press and experiment a bit.

[@tano1747]

Just be aware that vise handles are sized you don't damage the vise with normal force on the handle. Use of a cheater bar to increase leverage may step the threads (usually in the nut) or split the nut. Hydraulic press is much the same cost as a vise that's big enough to withstand this abuse. It does take up floor space though. You could try this technique out with a vise but plan to buy a press soon, before your vise breaks if you want to do much of it. Otherwise you risk needing to buy BOTH a new vise and a press

[@tano1747]

Strip the threads, not step. Pardon my phone autocorrect.

These ideas should be directly applicable to using C-clamps instead of a vice. What would happen if you parked your car on it?

[@pamkriner5945]

Roberta Pihl says that will work with her impression plates…the car, I mean.

I enjoy any project by Robert Dancik. It's a shame that you decided to "rebrand", there was nothing wrong with your original design, it had a very timeless appearance. The branding now seems a bit juvenile, with a craft vs. art feel. If it ain't broke...

[@E-Kat]

🤔What rebranding?

Will this work well with 925 silver?
