Hey Ron, really nice looking work. Quick question
though, is it common to use 6061-T6 for metalworking
like that? I was under the impression that a softer
alloy was preferable.

A friend asked if I could make a scoop to replace
the one on his 1946 Fairchild. I used a shot bag,
english wheel, planishing hammer and various hammers
to shape a flat piece of .040 6061-T6. Here is a
link to some pictures of the first attempt.

Yes softer metal is normally used, but all I had was the 6061-T6 and I wanted to give it a try.
