Default Introduction from Long Beach

My name is Nate. I'm doing some work for my daughter who is disabled. A lot of the items that we bought for her when she was young are getting too small and braking. I'm currently working on a 'bouncy' seat for her. The one that she had been using has broken many times. I had it welded at the local muffler shop a couple times, but the stress points weren't holding up with her weight. So I'm here to ask some questions about bending some spring metal to act as the 'bouncy' part for her chair. Thanks for any help here.

Nate

Nate, welcome to the site. Our main focus on this site is shaping sheet metal by shrinking or stretching the metal. Maybe someone here can help you with your question. Thanks for joining us.
