Description
Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication Techniques, is a photo-intensive how-to book. See Craig Naff build a Rolls Royce fender, Rob Roehl create a motorcycle gas tank, Ron Covell form part of a quarter midget body, and Fay Butler shape a aircraft wheel fairing and the front section for an old Lotus race car. Methods and tools include the English wheel, power hammer, shrinkers and stretchers, and of course the hammer and dolly.

Photo sequences cover building the buck, creating a paper template, cutting the steel or aluminum, forming the piece, welding and finishing.
