Hola Amigos
 

I'm an old retired Firefighter who has fooled around with rusty junk in my spare time for the last 40 years. Was having trouble building a louver press and Joe was kind enough to help me get it straightened out and turn me on to the site.
Thanks Joe,
Capt. Zorro

Welcome Capt.

Capt, welcome to the site glad to have you as a member. Tell us how you did with the louvers. Good talking to you, if you have any other questions just ask..

Joe, what we discussed seems to have helped. I decreased the depth and formed some hard rubber to act as a female die. Went with a little thicker metal and this combination has stopped the tearing at the corner of the louver. Pressed about 20 holes in one of the hood side panels on my old Model T yesterday afternoon.
Going to reinforce the press frame some more also, have to wait till Monday as I've used up all the 2x4, 1/4 wall tube I had in the shop.
Thanks again for the help.

Glad to hear that you are having some success now.
