How can I make a 10" OD bowl with a 2" r 2" high side from 16 or 18 gauge CRS ?
I need to make a bowl shaped piece with a 6" od bottom and a side that is a 2"r and 2"tall making the top 10" on the od. This piece will then be cut in four 90 degree pieces to be used in corners of a reproduction inner fender for a Diamond T pick up. I wold like to make about 32 or more of these 90 degree pieces. I have not been able to find any info on spinning mild steel, and don't know if this would be a possible answer. Have also thought about turning a male and female die to press them out,a lot of work with unknown results. I have a 100ton shop press ,mill,lathe welding and other machine tools and don't mind spending time on this project if I thought I was heading in the right direction.I am open to
all direction and suggestions .
Thanks, Richard
