So, you have a slip roller big enough to round those out? Why do the ends look like they've been heated? Is that from when the pieces were cut out from the larger sheet?
I have 5 rolls in the shop with varying capacities. Some can handle material up the 5/8" thick and some can handle sheets up to 120" wide. The color banding is from the mill and is typical of ASTM A 1011 HR steel from their cooling process. That color banding becomes a desirable attribute when some of the residential pieces get clear coated...
Thanks Vet... She want's me to have it powder coated "Chili Red".... I asked her why.... Doesn't she know "DARK SILVER" is the fastest color and RED is what they color stop signs?...
The red guy showed up from the powder coater today... Planted it outside the sunroom... The wife was very happy.... I got major points for the effort... I also noticed I need to mow the grass....
Absolutely, I joked with a friend once that my blade was so dull, I wasn't cutting the grass, I was just beating it into submission....
Just finished up with a stainless steel 24 beer tap station... Customer will pick it up today... Doing our part to fight the local war on thirst...:beer
The sheet metal shop is starting to smell like a wood shop.... And that's not necessarily a bad thing... Got two counter-top orders from a client last week... One cook top and one sink bowl top... Something a little different than what we normally do.... They are both called "Waterfall" counter-tops, so the surface will turn 90 degrees and go to the floor on one end of each top... Overall thickness will be 4", so it will look like a 4" thick slab of SS when finished... I had to design a ladder tube frame structure to get the weight out and yet be strong and not flex... Today's pictures...
Looks good Chuck. Remember to not weld the wood. If you do weld use a dowel rod with the stick welder.
