Ron Covell and Ron Fournier team up to teach you all about the hammerforming process. Form blocks are easy to make, and they enable you to create parts with the accuracy of die-stamped originals. Ten different hammer-forming operations are shown, from a simple tank top to a beautiful rolled edge detail on a complicated pontoon fender for a Bugatti.

Hammerforms are very easy to make, and they enable you to create parts with the look and accuracy of die-stamped parts. Ten different hammerforming operations are demonstrated, from a simple tank top to a beautiful rolled edge detail on a complicated pontoon fender for a Bugatti. The two Ron's 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. Striking close-up shots bring you close to the action, and all aspects of the hammerforming process are clearly described.

WOW what can I say! I never reliesed that creating simple repeatable parts from sheetmetal could be done with just basic tools. I have now thought of many uses for hammer forms and although the DVD only covers the basics, I have learnt alot and I look forward to having a go at making my own parts.
