KjZitur Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 By tapered bands do you mean bands like those on a wooden barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pook Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm guessing bands on a tapered shape? if so you need to bend it the hard way first (on edge) then the easy way. To get it pretty close the first time you could draw it like your doing a template for a cone shape or else it'll take some experimenting to get it right.

KjZitur Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 If you measure where the band is going on the barrel and do a full scale layout as per this quick drawing, you can edge bend your bar stock by using a crosspeen or straightpeen hammer on the outside edge to get the proper edge bend before you roll it. The edge bending and rolling can be done cold.........ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
