restoration of panels, hammerforming, tools, terms and equipment, riveting techniques, layout, design, and pattern making
This book, as written for the automotive custom body trade, covers shaping techniques, hammer forming, shrinking and stretching, use of an English Wheel, beaders, rollers, and power hammers. These, and other basic hand and shop tools are described in depth along with the proper techniques for their use.
These skills will allow the aircraft builder or restorer to fabricate or repair complex shapes from aluminum sheet where composites may have previously been considered the only option. It will compliment any sheet metal worker who wants to go beyond the basic skills of bending, cutting and riveting.
