There isn't an video from this channel that I don't recommend watching but this technique is rather interesting for the dedicated garage maker who needs thin metal parts like speaker grills, electronics DIP pins and millions of other applications.
Normally thin sheet metal parts are stamped out in a press. This has downsides that Gordon Freeman (that's not his name but it might as well be)
explains in the video such as a sharp side where the metal was pushed through and super high upfront costs per each design because a stamp die must be machined for it. His process is incredibly involved and uses several special pieces of equipment but are all things can be cobbled together like we tinkerer's do. If this project looks too easy he also made an electron microscope in his garage or consider his vacuum sputtering machine which can coat any tiny object in actual metal plating without liquid chemicals.
