Developing sheet metal bends between two different curves
This is where I should have done an apprenticeship rather than a degree lol!!
Anybody know of a simple online guide to marking out sheet metal to form a segment-folded bend between two different curves?
I was shown this by an ex-rolls-royce sheet metal guy, who just used dividers to do it all, but I can't remember how the bloody hell he did it!!

i was having a general browse on amazon and there are some good (according to the reviews) books on the subject. There are also some terrible ones.

Great link,
That´s just what I was looking for too, My idea is to make a swirl pot integral to the tank, round, that the bottom would be horizontal, and the top
slanted to match the tank bottom.
Thanks for posting
