Looking to make dapping in quantity easier
I have a successful process for dapping bottle caps into hemispheres and soldering them together, but I would like to make them in greater quantity than I can by hand. It currently takes me about 30 mins to make my :"steel marbles" ;)
Any advice on how to make some tools/machines that will help me automate this process a bit would be great. I'm mostly interested in the dapping step, like a powered stamping machine/hammer setup, but all I can find are either too little (stampers) or grossly overpowered (powered hammers for forging).
I do love to work the metal by hand and continue to make art around this small scale, but if there's an opportunity to sell something that I can fabricate out of my creations I can't create what I have in mind and meet demand reasonably by hand.
Thanks all!
