Just an apprentice to the metal, looking to share what I’ve learned and help people with any issues they’re having with their projects. I hope to share things as I continue learning them, I want to share the information and resources to make metalshaping approachable for any skill level.
First attempt at Rubber Pad Forming
First attempt at rubber pad forming to reproduce a license plate for a friend of mine. Still some refining to do put it’s a fairly interesting technique #metalshaping #customsheetmetal #fabrication #hammeranddolly #sheetmetalfabrication #beadrolling #ilovebeadrolling

Coining to finish the ends of a bead rolled panel
I don't get it ??? I appreciate the fact that one might want to countersink the rivenut somehow to compensate for the rivnut material rise. But isn't the whole premise of using rivnuts because you don't have access to the backside of the mounting surface to use a nut ...
@@artvuilleumier5702 this is to allow in this situation a single tool adjustment of the part at the racetrack and my customer is more likely to have a revnut tool and recents to make quick easy repairs then they are the ability to replace pem nuts or caged nuts.
I feel like this could be in a scene from crybaby when they were making the licensed plates in jail lol disappointed you werent singing LOL
Thats really cool
There also are hefty rubber mallets for making cobblestone footpaths. Maybe worth trying?
@@Calligraphybooster I tried my soft and medium faced rubber mallets and didn’t get much results but it’s definitely worth trying again
Once the plate is painted with the letters and numbers done it will be very nice. Looks good now. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@jamesmisener3006 thank you
wonder if used race car tires would work.
@@frotobaggins7169 it would be worth trying if you had a piece I guess
@@motleymetals I'm sure you could find one at a local track or maybe a supplier for racers.
You have a CNC. Why not simply create a positive and use it to stamp the metal from the rear? Use the rubber on the front side and the stamp on the rear... or simply make a negative for the front?
@@secondarycontainment4727 for me a balance of man and machine hrs. Cutting out all the infill is a lot more machine time and possible tool changes to speed it up this way I did everything with one tool fairly quickly with less wear on the tool. What little rubber pad forming I’ve tried in the press I feel my tonnage limits me even at 60 tons I have limited results.
@@motleymetals I see. What about doing something like a movable typeface? Pressing individual letters into the metal would obviously reduce the tonnage required to press into your sheet metal as the pressure would be focused into a smaller area.
@@secondarycontainment4727 that would definitely make it easy to change the years if someone wanted a different year
@@motleymetals You have access to a CNC. What about doing incremental sheet forming AKA single point forming?
@@secondarycontainment4727 that’s a really complex type of forming my Cnc is just a router incremental forming is a whole nother class of Cnc very interesting and very much out of my price range.
Hydraulic press
@@markperrin3650 I used 60 tons with a 3/8 thick pad the detail is just a bit too small
Have you ever tried doing the version where you use English wheel instead of a hammer? I don’t think you use the rubber when you do that variation.
@@nathanhawkins4108 no never tried that
Or a plannishing hammer
I have a thought for you. Start the process like you are to get a slight impression in the metal. Then switch over to an air hammer to finish it out. I think it is Leslie tools that sells a two pack of air hammer bits that are used to knock out bolts of dodge unit bearing hubs. One fits second gen trucks and the other fits third gen. Get some uhmw (I think that is the correct letters) plastic and shape a corking insert to fit in the air hammer tool with the radius you need to finish it out. Starting it first manually will keep the air hammer where you want it better. I probably wouldn't use the rubber with the air hammer either. The plastic shouldn't mar the metal. I just looked the tools up. Google: Lisle 38210
@@jamessheets9205 those tools do look like great insert holders thanks. Probably be good for all types of flow forming too.
Now that’s a cool process!
@@Vikingwerk yes it is I’m looking forward to trying it again and honing the skill. Hope it helps.
Interesting process, I have a few places this might get the effect I need.
@@gofastwclass that’s rad hope it works out for you.
That looks like a lot of work. Turned out great.
@@garypannone7755 yes but I’m glad I didn’t have any tooling marks to clean up. I had also thought of ordering pitch and repose and chase but I had everything on hand to try this out.
@@motleymetals I never saw that done before or even knew it could be done, It is quite the process and looks great.
@@garypannone7755 thanks
Very interesting process...I've never seen this method before. As Gene Winfield says, " Every Day is a School Day". Maybe the power hammer would help?
@@chriszucker7500 I was wondering the same thing if you could fixture in a power hammer how that would work. The stroke on my Pullmax was too short to try or I would have.
Helve hammer...like Sosa sells.
Nice experiment and a happy customer.
@@tryphontournesol427 thank you
Have to you tried a sandwich of the pattern, new metal, rubber pad, top plate. Then put it a press and squeeze the crap out of it.
@@cabbiea12 yes I did with my 3/8 pad and 60 tons but it had little effect I believe the hammer and thinner pad applying more psi locally than the press did over the whole surface. That is a great technique though you just need a minimum of 3 times the target shape in pad thickness the right tonnage and limited detail in the pattern.
Super cool Jessie
@@tspalding17 thanks I thought you would enjoy seeing the process
Cool to hear a shout out to Cas book
@@ratrod1962 it is a very interesting book I don’t know he comes up with some of his ideas.
@@motleymetals he lived a few towns over, very nice man, as to his ideas, I’d say, very old school, and working since he was a young boy, he seen lots of stuff from the old country, before he came to the states
That is awesome.
@@maryharris2792 thank you
great work thank for the video
@@davetyson2331 thanks I hope it helps.
so "burring" is another term for edge tipping? thank you.
@@eddiemcgfrom what I understand it’s really just tipping up a very small edge. Something like if I was turning up an 1/8”edge for an access opening that had a cover so there was a stiffer edge that also wasn’t sharp.
Just subscribed my first video of you I've always been the guy that can show you heck of alot easier then explan...
@@toddenglert4815 thank you I appreciate it
Exciting to see this come together.
@@ceceliaparker6764 thanks yes it is
Nice!!!! I want to make a rear split for my VW. I have zero to go off of. But you gave me some things to think about. Lots of work there!!!
@@faroironandcustoms6577 Thanks I appreciate it. That sounds like a rad project really hope it helps.
That's going to look awesome.. cant wait to see finished product
@@maryharris2792 thank you
That’s genius and looks better than using a modified punch
@@UnconventionalMetal thanks yeah I think the flat of the side of the wrench helps with cleaning up the coining.
Good morning, This video and your craftsmanship is absolutely fantastic. Thank you
@@awaddabit2398 thank you I greatly appreciate it.
just found your channel, and am impressed by your approach to fabrication
@@stephengent9974 thank you I hope it helps I’m just trying to spread information as I learn it and help people see other techniques and ways of approaching things
Ever done any 32 chevy 4door quarter's ? Mine are rotted out.
@@aired-downdisconnected4125 no this is the oldest truck I’ve worked on so far.
Another great video, thanks for taking the time to make it and share it with everone.🙂
@@jeremybowen2 thank you I appreciate it
Another great video
@@maryharris2792 thank you I appreciate it
Great video and appreciate the depth. Have to do the same repair on my ‘35 Chevy cab and will definitely be using this video to help me along. Keep up the good work!
@@troyhowell658 thanks I greatly appreciate it and hope it helps. If you need to see any certain techniques just let me know I’m only apprentice level but I’ll try and help
Great workmanship. Your videos are very interesting and informative.
@@garypannone7755 thank you
That was an excellent explanation of how to. I will need to do this to my windscreen and I was running different scenarios on how to. And I have the answer. Thank you very much.
@@paulnewton943 that’s awesome thank you hope it helps
beautIful work, you have a great way of explaining it. Love tig welding sheet metal too.
@@SkaterStimm thanks I appreciate it and hope it helps
like the way you explain each step going to a great panel when finished
@@fredjones1238 thanks I appreciate it

Thank you
Cool, looking forward to seeing it going together

Thank you so much. God bless.
No problem hope it helps
Thank you Sir! Where do you get your 19 gauge... rare as hen's teeth around my parts...
Only supplier I can get it from is ALRO about 1.5hrs away from me no one else can get me AKDQ Drawing quality
@@motleymetals in Greensboro? I am in Chapel Hill so could make the trip!
@@motleymetals i am an amateur at this. What is the benefit of this particular allow. It has some aluminum in it. It tigs ok?
@@mikeg5877 yes it is very weldable tig MiG or oxy. The advantage is in the ease at which it draws and takes shapes. It is the same alloy most automotive manufacturers use so it matches up really well with existing panels.
@@mikeg5877 my closest is Baltimore but they order it for me most of the time I pull up their web page for drawing quality type b AKDQ to make sure the right stuff is ordered they usually have to ship it from Michigan
Nice work and result, you have some skill for sure.
Thank you I appreciate it
HEY MM.. WE DON'T SEE ALL THE PROCESS THAT YOU DO, AS U JUMP FROM ONE JOB TO ANOTHER JOB MISSING OUT ON THE INSTRUCTION OF HOW YOU CARRIED OUT THE ACTUAL PROCEDURE. WE GUYS LIKE TO LEARN THE " HOW TO " WHEN MAKING A PANEL..IT DOES HELP.. CHEERS.
I’ve been trying to make shorter videos and group them with associated process videos in playlists but I’ll try to include more in my upcoming videos.
great video thanks
Thank you I appreciate it
this is real interesting , explained clearly
Thank you.
👍👍
Thank you
Yes please more real time. All of it. Teally really nice work as usual.
I’ll try I’ve just been trying to keep the video length down.
Such a simple tool, you'd think this tool would be sold and available at fastener supply businesses but it's not.
There are a few companies selling them I just ended up needing one before I could get it shipped and as simple as it was it didn’t take long to machine so it was worth it.
@@motleymetals Yes, I guess it would be impossible to have them available for all thicknesses and type of rivnut. Generic won't work on all applications. I'll come back to your vid here when I need tips on a flush application.
I hope you get a million subs
Thanks I just hope it helps someone understand the process a little better and might help the next generation of hot rodders, restorers or whatever. If you ever have a question or if you don’t understand something just let me know and I’ll try to answer or make a better video to explain it.
really slick. thanks!
No problem hope it helps
