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.

3:06 "it took me four or five generations to get this tool mostly working"
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.

when that weight fell off at the shelf at 0:17 , I instinctively moved my foot and stubbed my toe into my desk...

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!

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
