My Kiwi Reproduction ulster

Hi Colin Swinbourne,

Thanks for that. I am assuming the folds you asked about are the three main folds on the floor. I don't have any fancy equipment so I used a piece of angle iron clamped to the bench. I then clamped a separate piece of steel on top of the work piece set back from the fold line. You then bend the work piece down to create tension or spring and hit just under the fold line with a rubber mallet. The work piece relaxes and a sharp fold line is created.  What you don't want to do is bash in the fold, the "spring" does all the work for you.

Thanks Simon,

I will definitely let you know when I'm next in welly.  That's useful info I will look both products up and try them. Everything takes so long that you're always fighting corrosion.
