Cheers! I apply "medium" force, if that's any help? Anything too light and it won't deform the metal enough, and digging in like crazy can take things too far. Saying that, it can be good to apply a different force to each cymbal in the stack to control the deformation and make sure they sit nicely together, so maybe more force on the bottom one, least force for the top. Also, I sometimes adjust force as I work on a single pass depending on how I want to alter the shape... honestly, once you start digging into this craft it gets wild! Thanks for the comments.@@emanuelantunes2789
Thank you for your prompt reply@@Collingwoodcymbals ! I found your channel, and consequently your work, yesterday. Thank you for educating us and sharing such a fascinating craft! I though clap-stacks and the like were shaped by bending the cymbals either by roll-pressing or by hammering. Never occurred to me you could induce the tension to bend it by lathing it like that. Could you do a video about the best way to clean and preserve the finish on cymbals? :D Thank you!
Yes I can do that, I see you joined the Patreon as a free member, many thanks! There are some videos there on the paid tiers covering this and much more, but happy to produce something for the YT channel.@@emanuelantunes2789
Cool! What sort of HP speed is best for cymbals when buying a lathe?
Just got your email thanks, have replied!
just like that! magic! :D haha
how much force would you apply to get that tension distribution to bend the blank? Thanks! I'm lLoving your work!
