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.

In part one, Ron made a wooden buck to help build a 1927 Ford roadster body. In this program, he fabricates the back half of the body - the 'turtledeck'. This is a challenging project, and Ron shows how to do the work with a wide variety of tools, including an English wheel, shrinker, stretcher, beading machine, and a Dake 'Universal' machine.
You'll learn about stretching, shrinking, doming, flanging, beading, welding, forming reverse curves, and many other advanced metalworking techniques. He makes extensive use of a hand-held rivet gun, which is a fantastic way to move metal! There are in-depth demonstrations of metalfinishing, and of removing oil cans with heat shrinking. You'll love Ron's approach to this complex project, breaking it down into bite-sized pieces, with great close-up photography and crystal-clear commentary. Whether you're a beginning or advanced metalworker, you're sure to gain a wealth of knowledge from this fascinating project!

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.
