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!

3" 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!
Mallets are made of non-marring plastic for long life, with sturdy hickory handles.
Deep reach makes forming deep bowl shapes quick & easy.
Weight: 26 oz, Small Radius: 1", Large Radius: 3", Overall head length 7 "
At 26 ounces, this mallet moves metal fast! The heaviest of all our bossing-style mallets, this is a great choice when working with steel.
After years of frustration with the mallets commonly available, (and usually 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.

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!
