Making the F-Bomb Part 1 - The Buck

This is a collaboration with Aaron from the 6061 KZbin channel. We're riffing on the term 'F-Bomb' which most people have heard of. Rest assured, we're not doing anything that will cause harm - we're simply doing our part to lessen the world's load of negative notions like Failure, Frustration, and Futility.

One of the best ways to help a great channel like Ron's grow even larger is to hit the share button and share these videos with all our metalworking friends."Word of mouth" can spread fast if everyone does it!

[@RonCovell]

Thanks so much for reminding people of this, Aaron! Hope you like what you've seen so far - more to come soon!

It's our pleasure!

[@TheoTHERON_SA]

I have been a HUGE fan of Ron for years. Back in the days of American HotRod, Biker buildoff and so forth. Got me interested in sheetmetal fabrication, and came across this great talent he has. I had the chance once back in 2009 to work on an English Wheel for the first time. Our challenge that day was to make a 'dish' of 4' size. Which I managed. The "tutor" then challenged me to make a front fender (motorcycle). I managed that with a rolled over bead! Whoop!! Not perfect by any means, and definitely wouldn't have mounted it on a motorcycle LOL. But I loved the experience! Always wanted an english wheel of m own, even if only to make "throw away stuff" Hahaha Can not WAIT for the sheetmetal video of the F-Bomb and then the tail piece! You two guys rock my KZbin world!

[@-Deena.]

The seemingly simple ways that you turn 2D into 3D is always such a joy to see Ron. So that's what the disc-shaper was for! 🧡

[@RonCovell]

Deena, thanks again for your always encouraging comments. Yes, I can finally 'spill the beans' about the disc sander. I think you can appreciate just how much it eased this task!

[@joell439]

The best kind of Father’s Day gift….. a new video from Ron 👍👍😎👍👍. This will be another awesome series. Thank you 🙏

[@RonCovell]

Yes, happy Father's Day to you, indeed. The video will launch in just over one hour!

[@jeffbourne6015]

Ron, The layout and construction techniques of the wooden form shown in this first part of the F-bomb are just wonderful to observe and learn from. The manner in which offcuts of card on which the segmental profiles had been transferred from the elliptical curve and then subsequently used as templates for the interlocking struts was very clever and innovative. These methods can obviously be adapted for similar 3D complex surfaces as a basic form work. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful skills and for the inspiration we get from it.

[@RonCovell]

Thanks, Jeff. I hope these techniques can help you with your projects, too!

[@roarlyng]

You have a very calm and feelgood way of explaining what you do that I thoroughly enjoy. A natural born teacher if I ever saw one, thank you for sharing!

[@marcoscamara5624]

Hi Ron. The truth is that I do not know if I have ever commented on any of the videos of him that I have seen. If I have not commented on it, perhaps it is because I have been amazed by absolutely everyone I have seen and I have not reacted. I love how you combine mastery with delicacy. You cannot imagine the things that I have learned. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge, teaching us some of what you know in such an instructive and altruistic way. As always, I will continue to wait, although it always seems very long, until the next video. Thanks. Greetings from Zaragoza (Spain). Marco Antonio

[@RonCovell]

Marcos - I'm glad you have enjoyed my videos. I'm trying my best to upload a video every two weeks, and will keep it up as long as I can. I know some people post a new video every day or two, but mine seem to take a LOT of work and time.

This is fantastic, can’t wait to see how it all comes together. I am always amazed at your ingenuity Ron. I have been watching Aarons channel for a long time and his fab skills are a chip off the old Covell. This is a great collaboration. Have a Happy Father’s Day! 👍🏻

Thanks so much. I am definitely more of a metalworker than woodworker, but wood is so helpful for many of my fixtures.

[@tomsmith3045]

I'm watching you build this, all with pretty basic tools and straightforward techniques, and I can't help thinking that if more people knew how good it feels to make things with their own hands - the freedom and sense of accomplishment it brings - that the world would be a better place. Maybe no one thing is all that important, but the sharing of knowledge and appreciation of work done is positive and uplifting. And pretty cool. Thanks!

[@RonCovell]

Well, one of the key reasons I make all these videos is in hopes that more people will get on-board with making things themselves.

[@RonCovell]

Glad you like my videos!

[@maxcactus7]

That was about $3500 in plywood.... and that was BEFORE labor! Amazing work! Enjoyed this thoroughly and learned a ton.

[@RonCovell]

There is no doubt that the price of plywood has gone through the roof. I was fortunate to have some scraps I could use for making this buck.

[@joeo6378]

This sort of thing reminds me a lot of Paul Sellers woodworking channel. Watching you do it, it seems so natural and effortless. Your explanation of the task at hand is great and the step by step is awesome - long form is the way to teach (me at least). But I am certain when I get out to the shop to try and make anything at all it will end up looking like a car wreck - not that it will stop me from learning, trying, and practicepracticepractice. Just funny how it always works this way.

[@RonCovell]

If it's any consolation, my very first learning pieces looked somewhat like a car wreck - but it got better as I practiced more!

[@mikehorrocks2909]

It is always gratifying to see someone using the simple draftsman tools to create something as unique as the dreaded “F-bomb”😅

[@lll3games45]

Another nice video as allways. One little tip : it is easier to drill holes with a holesaw if you drill a small hole overlapping the kerf allowing the sawdust to escape. Marius Hornberger made a video aout this about a year ago.

[@RonCovell]

I've heard of that, but haven't tried it on wood yet. It helps even more on metal, which is much slower to cut with hole saws.

[@thercbarn5001]

[@tonypires8816]

I’m really interested to see how you use this style of buck for forming to. Do you ever do metal style bucks like Wray S. does?

[@RonCovell]

I have made quite a few wireform bucks. They certainly have their place, but when I want more rigidity, I prefer wood.

[@tonypires8816]

You make wood bucks look so easy. I do wish I could have seen the whole overhead view of using the string to make the ellipse. You changed views and we didn’t get to see the whole process. If I may, I’d really appreciate more closeup overviews when you are doing something crucial. You are an incredible resource, thanks

That little sharpie holder stole the scene every time you used it. After seeing that I was planning to 3D print something of my own, but I can see its quite affordable ready made. The MarkerLock Sharpie Magnetic Marker Holder. I really appreciate the beauty of that buck. Are the holes generally for lightening the entire buck or will they serve a different purpose.

[@RonCovell]

Yes, that marker holder is great -I can use and re-cap a marker pen easily with one hand! I got mine here: www.trick-tools.com/search/go?w=marker%20holder The holes in the buck certainly do reduce the weight, but even more importantly, they allow me to see the metal from the backside, to check the fit more easily.

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@RonCovell I'm puzzled - you measured the angle of the last two stations at 70 degrees per side, but you sanded the last two disks to 15 degrees - which implies 75 deg, no? I haven't watched past this point, so maybe you explain in the clip . . .

[@RonCovell]

Sharp eyes (or is it ears)? I misspoke when I said 70 degrees - it's actually 75, which is why I set the sander to 15-degrees, the compliment of 75.

[@SianaGearz]

I appreciate the commitment to safety equipment for breathing, eyes and hearing. Neither of these heal really well, and once someone gets exposure allergy from breathing too much wood particulate and binder, well there's not much left to do there, that person is never going to feel fine ever again, as these compounds are part of our daily lives. Allergic sensitisation is not the most likely outcome, but why play russian roulette when people can protect themselves. I think people would do well to consider protection and safety measures the basic etiquette in all circumstances, and unfortunately, a lot of evidence shows that they do not.

When you do this kind of work repeatedly, it generally gets easier and more simple.

[@ericg7044]

Hey Ron, great as always. Bit of a random question but I was wondering what you do with all of the bucks and jigs and things that you make out of ply-wood. Do you save them and have a room somewhere full of them in case you ever need them again? Or maybe re-use the wood over and over again? Or do you just toss them when you're done.

[@RonCovell]

Well, I very rarely throw away, or even re-work a buck. I guess I'm fortunate to have enough storage space to keep them all, and many were designed so they can be disassembled and laid flat, making them much more compact. I don't re-use bucks very often, but the few times I have, I was sure glad I saved them!

well that was awesome! I enjoyed seeing the sander in use. I'm really looking forward to the sheet metal part! so, I have a question: I guess those paper patterns for all the holes don't last too long, but you do a lot of holes. would it be easier to make sheet metal circle templates that match all your hole saws, or is it not worth the trouble?

[@RonCovell]

I suppose sheetmetal circle templates would last a lifetime, but I normally get a few years of service out of the chip-board ones. I also use random objects to make circles - rolls of masking tape, the base of a paint or oil can, etc. If you look in the left background of this video shot at Chris Runge's shop, you will see he has made a nice set of plywood circle templates in larger sizes - a very practical idea! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZiTg42BbM14i68

YES - it absolutely could be! Or any shape that's mostly cylindrical.

I'm making a '50 model car and I need to make some bombs on the front bumpers. Is this the way to make them?

[@RonCovell]

This is certainly one good way, but of course there are others. You could machine them from solid stock, for instance.

Hole up, where can I get one of those sharpie holders? 9:17

[@RonCovell]

I got mine from Trick Tools: www.trick-tools.com/search/go?w=marker%20holder

Next time: Ron makes WW2 B-17 by hand.

[@RonCovell]

Now THAT would be a cool project!
