Aluminum sheet metal is a widely available and inexpensive material that can be used to create a wide range of products. However, it's important to know how to forge aluminum sheet metal correctly in order to create durable, strong products that will last for years
Here are some tips on how to forge aluminum sheet metal
1. Heat the Meta
Before you start heating the metal, make sure it's clean and dry. You should also use a torch with a high-temperature tip that's made of either aluminum or copper. The higher the temperature of your torch, the better able you'll be to weld the metal together without having any cracks form in your workpiece
2. Weld Metal Togethe
Once you've heated up your workpiece and cleaned it up, place it on an anvil so that it lines up evenly with your welding tool (such as an arc welder). Then, hold down one side of the workpiece with one hand while using your other hand to hold down another side with both hands firmly against it so that they don't move around during this process (this will ensure more even distribution of heat from all sides). Start by welding along one edge of your workpiece at first until you've created a
