I have access to one if I have to. I was going to use them by hand in a vice like tree monkey does

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Seems to me by the looks of his videos it's plenty easy by hand

 

[Ethan Hamby]

OK he just told me I have to make them in a lathe myself. *s-word. Lol. OK I guess the next question is what steel stock I need

Well, I'll tell ya this, it ain't as easy as Scott makes it look. After you have to cut the plated band out of a jug by hand, you'll wish you had a lathe. I still do all of mine in a lathe, even the unplated bands.

if only a table top lathe would work. Still over $1000

If I had the money I'd have a lathe

Morning midlanders!

Blondie still fighting the bronchial infection.

We've not been 'out and about' for over two weeks. I'm going stir crazy.

May have to buy more saws for entertainment.[emoji6]

That's for sure! I did a plated Hy-Way cylinder once, never again! That sucked royally! I cheated and just used a pop-up in the other one. Nothing's as easy as it looks either!

Yes that's what I was insinuating Ethan, you need a lathe to make the mandrel and sanding mandrel too

aluminum seems to me the best option... Safer for the bore and cheaper and lighter. After all the cutter does the work. This is the bar stock I found

 

[Ethan Hamby]

What to use for a cutter?

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I can order the mandrel in the bore size of my 660 but I'd still need to machine it some

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Trying to figure it out blindly haha I've not dealt with machine work like this before
