It all begins at the shear. I've used many different means of cutting but a shear is by far the quickest, and most precise cut available to me right now. I will be using this until I have a million dollars to buy a laser table. My legs will be getting a workout.
New machinery always looks so crisp.
The back gauge is nice,but with the thin metal its not usable. So I have to hand measure every piece.
I love this new shear. The cuts are very precise.
On to the brake. This is a pretty versitile machine.
Double checking with the trusty tri square.
AND bend.
Notching is next. I have a jig made up so now there's less guess work, more consistancy.
Tig welding is the best way to make these pans. Soldering seems to give more problems down the road.
A good sharp tungsten
A needle point is a must to have good TIG welds
My favorite part of the whole process is welding it all together.
