Featuring Ron Fournier & Ron Covell
Two of the best-known names in metalshaping have teamed up to teach you the ins and outs of the hammerforming process. The two Ron's bring over 70 years of combined experience to their viewers, and you will see how their individual styles of working with metal compliment each other.
Hammerforms are very easy to make, and they enable you to create parts that have the look and accuracy of die-stamped parts. Even beginning metalworkers can use hammerforms to quickly and easily make parts of which they can be proud.
Ten different hammerforming operations are demonstrated, from simple tank tops to a beautiful rolled edge detail on a complicated pontoon Bugatti fender.
The film includes instruction and demonstrations on the following topics:
Tank Top
Grille Bar
Annealing
Chipmunk Tombstone
Bowl Shapes
Flying Wire Fairing
Wing Rib
Door Post
Naca Duct
Bicycle Seat Post
Bugatti Fender
Featuring striking close-up shots that bring you close to the action, and clear descriptions of every aspect of the hammerforming process.

Beading machines are one of the most widely-used tools for both amateur and professional metalworkers. These machines can quickly and accurately make beads, steps, grooves, flanges, curls, and many other shapes in sheetmetal panels. As common as these machines are, many people don't know how to make the best use of them, and this program contains a wealth of knowledge about die selection, machine adjustment, and the proper techniques used to make crisp and accurate features in panels.
You'll see several different beading machines (bead rollers) in action, from bargain priced entry-level machines, through classic vintage machines, to the most versatile and robust motor-driven machines made today; giving you a good overview of the machines currently available, and showing which features are most important for specific types of work. Ron's easy-to-follow descriptions, coupled with the striking close-up photography will go a long way toward helping you master these versatile machines!
