    Yes Alastair. When making one offs, I come across some unpredicted problems, but I don't like achieving something by chance.
    Here is what happened when I tried to make a bell from brass tubing, using my hydraulic press. Dennis

    I know what you mean about chance, however I do like some of the random looking textures I see on some silverware and jewellery, I just like to be able to predict what the randomness is ;-)

    I do like your bell.

    I have come across a video of some deep drawing of silver via a hydraulic press recently and was intrigued by it. For mass production I could see a good benefit however there is a lot of tooling if its going to be a one off. I know its gone off topic but some threads are just like that.

    Here's the video if anyone is interested:
