Hollow planishing
Hi guys,
when you want to finish a high or low crown (aluminum) sheet one can planish it with a slapper and dolly to smoothen it and sand it. But with what tools can hollow planishing be done? Cheers Richard.

Hi Richard,
Are you talking about bowl shape and how to polish it?

Hi Martin,
Something like that. It's for the top of a tank. CAM00540.jpg CAM00541.jpg CAM00542.jpg The middle of the bowl is flat wit a radius on the sides. Cheers Richard.

I don't know if anyone else does it this way but I made some curved dollies to work areas like that. You can't buy them though. Also use a small hand held beater bag.

Marcus,
Is the other item in the picture a type of height checker? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

Cheers Richard. ///////////////////////////// Hi Richard, When I make parts that have shapes like this, I try to lay out the sections so that I can flip this shape over and planish it in reverse - using smooth tools because it is also difficult to metal finish - and also to sand the primer nicely...! For me, I have to plan this hollow shape out in advance, so I don't make an exhausting trip through a swamp for myself. Very Happy Christmas,

It is a back gauge I made back in the 80's. Just uses a drill bit to scribe the line in the end held in by a set screw. All made from stainless. I used it to mark the dolly so I had a guide to the depth of the slots I cut.
