Open ring Emerson cage building video part two.


Recommended Posts

Here's the majority of the steps in making a cage from scratch. Not included are things like searching for and ordering the correct material, obtaining detailed info concerning dimensions or obtaining a sample in good condition. Several details like the crimping function, wrap tightening, polishing and ageing were left out. Also packing a cage for safe, timely and economical shipping is not included. All of these add time and effort to the build, so if this looks simple and quick, well certain parts are, but all the steps added up equal the majority of a working day to accomplish.

Cheers,

Bill

Really impressive.  And I know what you mean by all the little things add up.  Especially when you do a one off project.  In my line, job satisfaction is minimal because people don’t understand why custom projects cost so much and then I get to try and explain why.  Then I get to spend a day cleaning the shop for free.

I should hope that I'm getting more image.thumb.jpeg.bd38dff19f0cacdc99a87d2f0759479b.jpegefficient at it. After all, I've done quite a few. Here's some of the cut-offs, just from 12 inch .187 back rings.

Cool video, Bill.  You make it look so easy (although, I know it's not).  And I especially love the use of Jean-Luc Ponty's Cosmic Messenger for the initial musical selection.  It's be a while since I have heard that.

Great video!  It’s really rare to see a true craftsman work his magic, no wasted steps through the entire process,  “Impressive “. 
 

Thanks Bill
