2009年7月23日 · Nice frame there Cowtown. The concept would also work well with a wheel. For a small shop, perhaps a way to change the function to use the same frame for the English wheel, louver press, and a planishing hammer. The problem is usually just turnover time in a busy shop. Filed this one away for future use.

2013年4月25日 · My pal Moe Miller bought the old louver press from Jerry (J&J Customs) in San Jose in 1978. This press frame was fabricated from 1/4" steel plate, in a large 'C' shape, looked like a huge micrometer standing on its spool. It was old when my Mom had Jerry punch the hood of her '48 Cadillac in 1955!

2014年3月16日 · We bought a Good Time Louver's press kit back then as both of us thought it would be cool. We built the press and mounted it on a axle so we could move it around. We are strictly a hobby business, I was a manager at the local power plant and Dick was a heavy equipment operator.

But with a solid hood, it gets trapped on top of the engine and can't vent. This builds a high pressure area above the engine that forces incoming air to go down to vent out.

2013年4月19日 · Having owned a louver press and have done 1000's of punches, dont expect to much quality that you could start doing them for others and start charging money. Dave is a great guy and realy has made a difference to this hobby with affordable tools, but they tend to favor the do it just for yourself type of hobbyest.

2006年10月2日 · Here are some pics of my just completed louver press. I started out with the heavy duty frame from an old Oliver jig saw that I bought for $100. I scrounged up an old two way ram with a broken end and a 12volt power unit from a lift gate. I made my own dies from tool steel with a lot of grinding and filing.

2013年1月9日 · Also depends on what quality you want, the last two post are a perfect example, notice the louvers on the car are not crisp around the base or the ends of the louver, done with a simple shear/punch and more than likely an open bottom die, but if you look at the louvers in the post previous to this, you'll notice how crisp the louver is, done with a true stripper …
