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.

MIG Welding is widely used, but few people really understand how each of the variables affects the finished weld. This program can be easily understood by a beginner, but it covers information even seasoned professionals can learn from. Ron Covell goes through the entire process step-by-step, and gives clear descriptions of how each factor affects the weld, including wire speed, voltage, stickout, gun angle, travel speed, and gas flow. He also covers plug welds, patch panels, welding aluminum, and using flux core wire.
You’ll especially enjoy the special bonus section on Plasma Cutting!

Ron Covell demonstrates dozens of ways to work with tubing, including bending with heat, bending with tube bending machines (both inexpensive and high-end machines), mitering, flaring and tapering tubing.
An extensive section deals with using U-bends, showing how to create anything from simple water pipes to elaborate headers.
One of Ron's most popular videos ~ great information communicated concisely with lots of close up shots!

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!

The first step in many large metalshaping projects is building a buck. A buck is a pattern, or form, that captures all of the key dimensions, contours, and details of an object in three-dimensional space. In some cases, details such as flanges and intricate contours are created by hammering metal directly against reinforced portions of the buck. The techniques used to make sophisticated bucks are not widely known, and many people have called us requesting a step-by-step description of the process, using tools the average builder may already have.
You'll learn a fast way to use sheet metal angles to model large, complicated shapes with surprising accuracy, and you will get insight into the way Ron works through the challenges presented by each element of the buck. His detailed, easy-to-follow commentary, coupled with striking close-up photography makes each step easy to follow, and you'll learn how to build sturdy, accurate bucks - the foundation for your large-scale metalshaping projects!

What do you do if you have a car with a fender that is damaged beyond repair, or missing? Ron shows how to use the opposite fender to design a buck, pointing out the features required to make a new fender that perfectly mirrors the model. You will see him analyze a '36 Ford fender, determine the number of pieces to make it from, and exactly where to place the seams to accommodate the intricate details, including the running board bulge and the rolled edge of the wheel opening.
A fascinating, in-depth look at the start-to-finish construction of a challenging project!

These metal formers are great for making smooth radius bends in sheet metal without cutting, heating or hammering the material. Reproduce just about anything with a curved edge. Mount on a workbench, in a vise or on a stand.
Use the shrinker to contract metal and to make inside curves. Use the stretcher to expand the metal for outside curves.
Cast iron body with hardened tool steel jaws for exceptional durability and long life. Each 12-lb. unit comes completely assembled and ready to use.
