Hey all you metal workin' gurus ...
I want to make an anticlastic ring. How do I make a pattern that will account for the shrinkage that the anticlastic forming will cause so that the ring will fit?
Also, I'm thinking I should make a pattern, cut out the metal, then solder the ends of the metal together before forming ... is that how you would do it? I don't know if it matters, but I use a steel sinusoidal stake with a delrin hammer for forming and a delrin stake and steel hammer for planishing.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Mollie
