The
basics of the art of shrinking and stretching sheet metal
into 3 dimensional shapes. With only a few basic
hand tools and a torch, this video shows the preliminary
skills needed to build from scratch items such as wheel
pants, cowls, fuel tanks, and various types of fairings.
Dent repair, as a related skill, is also covered in detail
on a piece of flat stock aluminum sheet.
from
the cassette cover:
The ancient art of reducing the surface area and increasing
the thickness of sheet metal is shown in detail, from
detailing the Lancaster machine, to using form blocks
to form curved edges. Hot and cold work are taught
on stainless, steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.
It might not really be magic, but these methods do seem
magical.
