Default Hello everyone!

My name is Richard Zamora, I live in Whittier California.
I been around metal fabricating pretty much my whole life. I'm 42 right now. My father has his own business fabricating high end furniture. I joined this sight because I'm working on a 1949 suburban and trying to form the 14 piece delux moldings . I heard about flow forming. Just trying to learn a little more.

Your having a few teething troubles with posting photos but at least you are getting some where, I press the paper clip icon make sure your what you are uploading is a recognised format, click the upload icon that will give you a list of your photos on the system, go back to the paper clip down arrow will bring up the manage attach boxn, now there are several ways of doing this you can bring all the attach in and type you comments after or if you upload them in the order you want to post them you can bring them into your post as you want them. At any time you can go to preview and edit as you wishIMG_0003.jpg you will also note that you pics are given a system ID

We need to know how many of these parts you need, what material and gauge, to me they look like stainless finish trim mouldings so the last thing you want to do is use a hammer, are they all the same or different lengths, to be honest this process is something I need for a project I have on myself so I'm also hoping the folk out there will drop by,
