Planishing hammers are a real 'workhorse' of the metal shaping process. They are unexcelled for flattening welds, working in constricted areas, and stretching flanges. Ron demonstrates the basic procedures for using these machines, including proper die selection and operator technique, and he shows their use on both steel and aluminum panels.
More specialized techniques are covered too, including flanging, riveting, and making reverse curves. This program shows seven different planishing hammers in action, from bargain-priced entry-level machines, through vintage and hand-held machines, to the most robust professional-level machines available, giving the viewer invaluable insight about the great diversity of these machines, and which features are most important for specific types of work.
As popular as planishing hammers are, there is precious little information available on their proper use, and this program will give you a strong foundation for selecting and using the right machine and tooling for your application.

The ability to "round over" parts in aluminum and steel is a critical step in many metal shaping projects. The High Crown Dome allows you to do just that with its gentle oval shape and three different radii located at top, front and rear. It also provides the fabricator extra versatility in especially hard to reach areas.
Forming heads have long been an important part of the cold shrinking process.

We offer Private Metal Shaping & Fabrication training by request. This is intended for those who may have a project, or part of a project that they would like to bring in to the shop for assistance. It is also ideal for those who want to further their skills in a very specific area, or who may just need some "refresher" shop time.
Private training is offered as schedule permits, and there is a three-hour minimum. Materials, as necessary, are charged in addition to the hourly rate. Tuition is $75 per hour for one student, $125 per hour for two students. No more than two students may attend at one session.
When you sign up / enroll, please submit 3 potential dates (with times, preferably) that will work for you. Please check these dates against our regular class schedules, because those are black out dates for private training. Many students, however, chose to enroll in a scheduled class and add a day, usually at the end of the class session for indivdual, private training.
If you have questions about private training, or want to check availability, please contact us here
