Location: Madison, WI | I'm going to make my own flaptail and colorado blades. Is there an easy way to cup them slightly after cutting them to size?
Thanks,

Location: KY | Do you have access to a hydraulic bearing press or an arbor press? If you do you could take a block of steel and grind the positive curvature onto it. Get a sheet of silicone rubber about 3/8” to ½” thick. Lay your blade material on the rubber then press the curved block of steel into it. It might work with a sledgehammer but it would be hit or miss. (pun intended) Good Luck. |
