Cool Tools | Die Forming without a Press by Robert Dancik

In this video, Robert shows how to die form without a press. Robert uses a vice and faux bone. Die forming is a way of forming metal metal sheet by pushing it through a die. Usually, die forming requires a hydraulic press which is heavy, big and expensive.
Robert Dancik, artist, inventor and instructor, holds a Masters degree in sculpture from Northern Illinois University, and a BA in fine art from Adelphi University. He has been an artist/teacher for more than 30 years and is presently an adjunct professor of education at Pace University. Robert has taught people from kindergarten to graduate school while exhibiting his jewelry and sculpture in museums and galleries across the US and in Europe, Japan, and Australia. While concrete may seem an unlikely material for jewelry, this specially formulated powder creates a final product that is lighter than stone, resin, metal clay or metal. It's easy to use: just add water and it sets in minutes, cures in about an hour. Solid Expressions Artist's Concrete by Robert Dancik is versatile and strong: pour it, mold it, tint it, and embed it with virtually anything! Add Robert's Solid Expressions Pigment to change the color to light or intense.

    I´m putting a question under your comment because it´s on the top and hopefully somedody can help me out. No insult here. I´m no native english speaker and do not know every term so far, so: What the heck is this Fullbone, Foolbore, Fummbunn or whatever? i couldn´t find it in the shop either. Subs would really help me out. Or somebody who knows what that material exactly is or at least how it´s written. Thanks a lot. The video is really good. I´ve subbed immediately.

    Not sure what scale he's using for 'very expensive', but I know a guy that forms custom speaker grills with a similar technique. He uses a simple H-press from Harbor Freight and MDF forms. I just looked, they have a 12-ton one for $170. They also have a 1-ton desktop arbor press for just $65. The throat of the arbor press and vice is small for sure, but that 12-ton model is only limited by width. I like the vice technique, will use it sometime for sure.

    Just be aware that vise handles are sized you don't damage the vise with normal force on the handle. Use of a cheater bar to increase leverage may step the threads (usually in the nut) or split the nut. Hydraulic press is much the same cost as a vise that's big enough to withstand this abuse. It does take up floor space though. You could try this technique out with a vise but plan to buy a press soon, before your vise breaks if you want to do much of it. Otherwise you risk needing to buy BOTH a new vise and a press
