Die-Hard:American Metal by Scott Bedow
This channel is more than just videos; it's a mission to preserve and pass on the critical knowledge of tool and die making, metal stamping, and the manufacturing processes that built our country.
The skills gap is real, but so is the passion of the makers. Here, we bridge that gap. Join us as we dive deep into:
* Tool & Die: From design theory and blueprint reading to the hands-on building, maintenance, and troubleshooting of progressive, line, and transfer dies.
* Metal Stamping: Master the press, understand material formability , and learn the secrets to producing quality parts efficiently and safely.
* USA Manufacturing: Get an insider's look at the challenges and triumphs of American industry, celebrate the skilled trades, and explore the technology driving our future.
This channel is for the apprentice hungry to learn, the journeyman looking to share wisdom, the engineer seeking practical insights, and anyone who believes in the power and precision of American-made.
