Your eye for detail is top tier Boone, but I’m not sure what is more impressive. The actual finished product, the tool you made, or the thought required to problem solve and develop the manufacturing process. Two traits that sets mankind above the rest of the animal kingdom is the ability to problem solve and the manufacturing/usage of tools. This video dives deeper than being a “dyi” lesson on how to manufacture scale guardrail. It’s proof of mankind’s evolutionary genius.

Thank you Dave, haven’t made any on buildings. I do plan on that in the future, I made a replica of the old Dunlop bridge from Donington Park Raceway , that I was going to show a how to on. It received a lot of attention on my Facebook page and many people requesting that I show how I built it. But yes buildings are on my list of things to do.

Thanks Gary, I have thought about updating the build of the jig and posting a new video. This jig is ok and can get the job done , but if you wanted to produce a large amount of guardrails your hands will take a beating if you attempt to produce them all at one time. Thanks for the comment and I think a new video updating the build would be a good idea

This is a very similar tool to a fret bender for guitars. They use a handle on to roll it through. Using that idea may make it easier for you to feed the aluminum through the rollers.

You could tack that assembly together and put a crank on it. When I was building an rc truck body out of metal, I found this stuff called foil, like aluminum. It’s way thicker than the thickest aluminum foil but a little thinner than those aluminum throw away bake pans for thanksgiving. You can actually get in various thicknesses and wasn’t too expensive. It might be a little easier to work with and it’d hold up even to impact. New subscriber.. I don’t slot race but I like your creative process and ways you’ve made various things. Hope to see more from ya.

Thanks 😊, it works really good. I have a second video covering guardrail as well. It’s the Watkins Glen style. But I changed up the roller and made a jig as well. You might want to check it out. It’s actually an easier way of creating these.

I am wondering why you did not put a handle on your tool, instead of turning it by hand. 🤔
@BoonesSlotCarGarage

I never thought about that when I built the roller. Plus I made it as simple as I could to do the job. I have gone over the roller and have come up with a new design that I plan on showing in an upcoming video. And with that I will be building a multi rail guardrail system for the track, much like the guardrail you see at many older European tracks...

Another great tutorial. I made a jig with flat stock based on your video. Got to make the strips after a few tweaks. Any tips on how to bend it without kinking it to make the curves to follow the track?
@BoonesSlotCarGarage
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Rich, Your jig sounds pretty cool. The kinks are a tough one. The outside of a corner is pretty easy to work , being that the bend is gradual and you are bending against the strength of the rail. But when it comes to the inside of a corner it can get tricky. I have found that if the corner is a sharp one It helps to cut small reliefs in the upper and lower flange of the rails, this tends to help a lot. Another method to try is when you are forming the rail, try to manipulate the rail in the direction of the bend you are going to use it for. This can be frustrating, and time consuming, but with some practice it is possible to create a bend in the direction you want. It may not be the exact shape but you can bend to fit as you place it on your layout. Hope this helps...
