Bill Dunlap Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 (edited) EMERSONCAGEFABVIDEO.mp4 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.

Mark Behrend Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Thanks for the video, outstanding work! Quote
John Trier Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 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.

Bill Dunlap Posted November 28, 2024 Author Posted November 28, 2024 (edited) I should hope that I'm getting more efficient at it. After all, I've done quite a few. Here's some of the cut-offs, just from 12 inch .187 back rings. Edited November 28, 2024 by Bill Dunlap Quote
Robert Todd Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 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. Quote
Darwin Costello Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Great video! It’s really rare to see a true craftsman work his magic, no wasted steps through the entire process, “Impressive “. Thanks Bill Quote
