That is old school technology. Drawing aluminum on a die is much cheaper and accurate, per unit. Never saw a single measurement taken. Guy must be really good
It's a "Porch-uh"

I hadn't really thought about it, but seems pretty straight forward.
I sent this to my dad (since he has a lathe). I'll have to try this out for my next project car.

Metal spinning is an art. You can get some accuracy when spinning over a die.

Did you notice the belt he had around him attached to the machine? I wouldn't want to clean up the mess when the operator gets tangled into the machine.

Cool to see this technique. Definitely old-school though. Now they make stuff like this in CNC lathes.

was thinking the same, re. measurements. I know that good stacks vs bad ones are at least partially in the design of the trumpet.

Is there nothing that isn't completely fucking awesome about velocity stacks?

That belt is important for helping the operator keep a stable hand as well as reducing fatigue.
Also, I don't approve of your use of the word "when". You make it sound as if it's inevitable that this guy is going to get tangled up and killed by a machine at some point. For a skilled trades person who's properly trained, what this guy is doing isn't that dangerous.

Not for a living, but I worked in a machine shop doing manual machining during the summers while I was in high school so I'm familiar with the potential hazards of this kind of work. These days I only get on the machines when I need to make some custom bits for my ongoing car projects.
