It's interesting when he try's this with aluminum foil:

My guess, he's not so much folding it as reshaping and mixing the metal under intense pressure in much the same way you might work dough ... (yeah, bad analogy... )
- baldfat 10y ago> much the same way you might work dough No its a good one. Reminds me of how they made "Damascus" Steele by pounding different layers together.
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoExactly. Too bad aluminum is too soft for this technique to provide any advantages. ...or perhaps that should actually be tested. Would this kind of processing change the mechanical properties of aluminum in any significant way?
- te_platt 10y agoFunny. He actually calls it Damascus Foil in the video.
- baldfat 10y agoI missed that! Maybe it was subconscious.
- mynameishere 10y agoYou can see something like that being done here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WkWNDDrQO4&t=5m0s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WkWNDDrQO4&t=5m0s
