  Your videos really helped me with my first build. It was the SR-71, I was not confident at all and had some issues but sort of pulled through. I&apos;m planning on doing more planes in the future. A video on making the wings would be greatly appreciated, or just working with pieces that are delicate and can easily break if worked with constantly. <br><br>Other than that, thank you for your content, you do cool stuff.

  Why&apos;d a dog crap in my yard? I liked the video.<br><br>On seriously note I&apos;ve used wooden dowels. &nbsp;They come in every size, radius.... cheap, easy to replace. For the very small cylinder I&apos;ve used wooden skewers for bbq. <br><br>I heard of a person super gluing 1 piece of the cylinder and rolling it. Once shaped they use nail polish remover to release to cylinder from the glue. I haven&apos;t tried this method yet.

  Great tutorial videos! I wish I’d had them when I first started 👏 I’ve definitely watched your cone video more than once by now. <br><br>Suggest you do one, on the different ways you can hide you tabs nicely.

  Great tutorials! Thanks! I can usually get the cylinder looking ok at first, but then there’s the problem of how to connect that cylinder to another cylinder inside the first. Like in the X-1 that you used. I can make the cylinder you made, and the next cylinder that connects inside it and they both look good. When I connect them together, I gotta mangle them from two nice round cylinders into two crushed coke cans to connect the two pieces. The whole engine stack of the SR-71 is another good example of this. It’s a cylinder, inside a cylinder, inside a cylinder, inside a cylinder, inside a cylinder, with &nbsp;cones and tapered cylinders on the ends, also inside of cylinders. Mine wound up looking like a chewed up pencil.

  What do you do when your fingers are not strong enough to bend the metal?

  The cylinder must remain intact
