What is scurfing?

Frank. Scurfing is the process which is part of the finishing of welded joints where a large diameter sander is used to smooth filing scratches and such from the surface of the panels.

Thank you Tom. I felt I should explain about the distortions caused to the surface of panels by shrinking machines because when I mentioned it before I was told I was wrong however its clear to see in these photos just how much it shows up in the surface of the panel when trying to metal finish. To me it seems sensible to avoid putting the marks in if it is possible. Where there are marks in the surface of the panel like the ones I showed from the shrinking it will not be possible to metal finish the surface unless they are removed. The marks pull the surounding metal low just like a heat shrink in the surface of a panel does.

Those are beautiful wings David and the time you spent documenting and answering questions puts you in a class above.

I myself as well as I am sure others appreciate the effort.

I show my work up close up. I try to show the process of making panels. I try to have clear photos because I can't see the point in fuzzy photos taken from a distance with little detail and in this day and age it's easy to get decent photos. I will be posting a video of these wings soon because photos don't show things in a true light.

Thank you very much Ron. My reply above was written at the same time as you were typing so not in reply to your comment. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.

David, a (good picture) tells more than a thousand words, but even a short video gives an even more insight in the sequence and time/effort needed to make a panel. The problem is that, if you get the hang of it, taking pictures during fabrication isn't that time consuming. But posting and documenting it is. I can't imagine the tremendous amount of effort going into making a video and documenting it. Nowadays it's easier I know and we metalshapers don't care about the wrong music But still it is time consuming.

The metal community appreciates these short videos a lot, no matter how shaky they are. I'm looking forward to it.

Kind regards,

Frank

I joined this forum a while back to learn how to patch a couple of holes in my truck. But I find myself in awe reading posts like this and studying the photos.
A month ago I'd never have guessed you could even make such a wing like this by hand. Thanks for taking the time to document your work and sharing it David.

I normally do not worry about shrinking marks (unless the panel need to be polished) I believe that the amount of polyester or high build primer needed for the weld undercut is enough to fill the marks

Nice job David !
