JAYNE REDMAN - "Making Multiples – Blanking Dies and Pattern Development" 3 DAY WORKSHOP

One-piece blanking dies allow you to easily cut out precise duplicate shapes from non-ferrous sheet metals.  Over the past 2o years, Jayne has developed ways of creating dies and blanking multiples that dramatically speed up the production process.  In this workshop you will learn how to develop patterns for this process and the method of sawing dies from flat stock tool steel.  You will be amazed at how quickly you can go from original idea to duplicated shape as you make and use your own blanking dies during class.  Jayne will be demonstrating her own inventive methods of forming, connecting, and engineering. This is a process oriented not project oriented workshop.  However, if you have a specific design in mind, Jayne will be more than happy to work with you to problem solve.
