I want steel toed crocs but I can't buy them. That's a crime against humanity that I want to rectify. In this video I show how I developed wooden tooling that with a bit of refinement could be used to mass produce steel toe crocs.

These videos usually take 100+ hours of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere

Heads up: I'm not the first person to do try to do this - if you want to be entertained with some good lulz you should check out the OG steel toed crocs from I did a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29iC6RlbL7s

The key to avoid the folding is to make it in steps, increasing the depth of the mold each time. I think there is even theoretical formula to know how many steps you have to do.

I'm so addicted to this channel. The fact that failure is the process helps me in my every day life. Everything about the format of this channel is amazing. Thank you

I used to work in an automotive press shop. We made parts for BMW. From my experience I can tell you that pressing the part in one go is not the best method. The way the presses worked in the automotive field is that they used a step method. The part was stamped out bit by bit using large rolls of sheet metal. The stamp would come down on one part of the metal & make a shape into it. Then the moulds would open up on top & bottom & the sheet metal would me moved along to the next stamp. So on & so forth until the final part was clipped off at the end of the run. This would prevent the metal from buckling & would provide a nice consistent form The extra scraps of metal would fall off into a conveyor system where it would be routed to a metal collection bin that would then be remelted & reformed into new sheets of metal. Nothing went to waste.

It's really interesting to look back at this video from just a few years ago and note how much Shane has built up his chops as, honestly, an entertainer.

the project had begun with my grandfather's grandfather... we know no longer why we toil in the fabrication of this instrument so hideous, but such is our charge

@16:40 Love that line, "I never claim to know what I'm doing, I just know what I'm trying to do." You've summed up almost everything I've ever done.

I love that you make engineering look so attainable to the average mind. You show that it’s okay to fail (so long as you have the materials lol) and that with the right attitude, you can make anything

I love how this channel is the epitome of overengineering. Mid-video I realised this would probably take a few hours for a blacksmith to make.

This was very interesting to watch, especially as a tool and die maker! Loved watching the trial and error! It's honestly the best way to learn. Draw dies are definitely the most complicated dies to design! Impressive even more still as you were able to accomplish this using wood! Love this channel! I think I've watched all your videos now! Looking forward to seeing what's next!
