John Glover has done a tremendous job of describing and illustrating techniques refined and perfected over a lifetime of unparalleled metal shaping successes in The Practical Sheet Metal Worker.
The book is divided into sections that include working the edges of metal parts, like beading, forming a wire edge and turning a flange. There is also a wealth of information on shrinking, tucking and heat shrinking. A section on making louvers is particularly helpful. The 'finishing touches' described in the book can enhance any metal shaping project, from basic to very advanced. Happily, John covers metal fabrication details and fine points in true English form - with excellent clarity and exquisite attention to detail.
Antique race cars, motorcycle gas tanks, aircraft parts and many other projects are all covered. Readers will enjoy John's perspective and personal touch along with intriguing information from days gone by. It’s full of valuable information about the hand forming of metal parts used in restoration, prototype, race and custom cars.

2" dia. Bossing Mallet, Designed by Ron Fournier.
Use with a shot / sand bag to shape metal ~ the handle won't strike the edge of your work piece!
Deep reach makes forming deep bowl shapes quick and easy.
Mallets are made of non-marring plastic for long life, with sturdy hickory handles.
Weight: 11.7 oz, Small Radius: 1/2", Large Radius: 2-1/4", Overall head length 7"
This Bossing Mallet is ideal for use with aluminum or steel, and is considered a "medium duty" mallet.
After years of frustration with the mallets commonly available, (often made for other trades) Ron decided to have custom metal shaping Bossing Mallets made to his design and specifications.
These mallets have unique radii and an extra deep "reach" measured between the face of the mallet and the handle. This deep reach makes forming bowl shapes quick and easy.
