Hi all, I'm trying to make a new rear fender out of Aluminum. I've never done this before, so it's a bit of a challenge. I've carved a wooden former, but I'm having trouble as the Aluminum keeps cracking.
I started with 2mm sheet but it was too hard to work. even with heat from my trusty blowtorch. I'm now using 1.2mm sheet which is easier to beat but keeps cracking.
The idea was to have it polished up, so I want to avoid welding it up. After a whole day of work wasted, I'll need to start again.
Anybody out there know where I'm going wrong?
