Two of the best-known names in metal shaping have teamed up to teach you the ins and outs of the hammer forming process.
Hammer forms are very easy to make, and they enable you to create parts that have the look and accuracy of die-stamped parts. They allow even beginning metalworkers to produce parts they can be proud of. Ten different hammer forming operations are demonstrated, from a simple tank top to the beautiful rolled-edge detail on a complicated pontoon fender for a Bugatti. The two Rons bring over 70 years of combined experience to the viewers, and you'll see how their different styles of working with metal compliment each other. This video has striking close-up shots that bring you close to the action, and clear descriptions of all aspects of the hammer forming process.Specifications:
