Thank for the video. WIth the blanket under the side, did you have to make the bender template smaller than your assembly mold? Ie the thichness of the blanket makes the bends in the side different from the mold?
Yes, most definitely. I start with the outside mold, then work in from there, thickness of the side+blanket+stainless steel, and then a skosh smaller (as Robby O'Brien would say). I'm going to do a new one someday, where in I actually overbend the sides so springback puts it closer to final shape.
Love the simplicity of your process! Nice
