I was a steel rule die maker for 13 years. My specialty was bending "free hand" any and all shapes. I used a Helmold hand bender and several different steel apparatus that allow for the manipulating of virtually any shape. Today that program it into a computer and to a point, can get detail from the steel rule knives. I could bend by hand steel rule within a tolerance of +/- 0.005" (5 thousandths of an inch). The simple designs he is showing here would be baby stuff compared to some of the very high detail work I could do back in the day. -- One of our customers was Hallmark Greeting Cards. If you've ever bought a very detailed Hallmark (and many other card company's) Christmas tree card, or perhaps a snowflake with tons of detail chances are I did the steel bending work for that card. When I was in the shop there was no one who could match my detail and quality for free hand bent steel rule. -- Many of my dies also cut parts for McDonnell Douglas aircraft, Being, General Dynamics and many military level gaskets and products. Such as a gasket that goes into an F-15's landing gear. -- I retired from the steel rule die making industry in 1996.
