I'm going to post this message to all groups that I feel may be able to
help. Bear with me, I'm ignorant, but ambitous. I'm tryng to make
something similar to a cookie sheet. A little larger radius (2 1/2")on
the corners and about 1 1/4" deep out of 22 ga. cold rolled steel. I've
built a "press" using I beams and 25 ton bottle jacks to do the
job.(Keep in mind if I could afford to job this out, or pruchase a
press, things would be different.) Anyways, I've managed to make the
part except for the corners wrinkle badly. I'm in the process of
casting the female to allow me to use binders. The question is where is
the best place to bind the blank? In the corners, or along the
straights? Any help, opinions, suggestions, ideas are appreciated! I'm
doing this with determination and junk layin around the yard. Buy a 10K
press, hire a die maker...etc. are not the answers I'm looking for.
Unless someone is willing to produce this for less than a grand. Thanks
again!!
