Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication Techniques is a photo-intensive how-to book. See Craig Naff fabricate a Rolls Royce fender, Rob Roehl create a motorcycle gas tank, Mike Pavletic repair an Alfa Romeo, Ron Covell form part of a quarter midget body, and Fay Butler shape an aircraft wheel fairing and the front section for a Lotus race car. Demonstrations include use of the English wheel, power hammer, shrinkers and stretchers, and of course the hammer and dolly.
The projects presented in this book involve multiple panels, each of which must be designed, cut, shaped and then joined to the others to create the finished fender or gas tank. Photo sequences cover building the buck, creating a paper template, cutting the steel or aluminum, forming the piece, welding the panels, and finishing the seams.
o Sequences in aluminum and steel
o From building the buck to TIG welding the panels
o Includes interviews with expert metal shapers
o Automotive, motorcycle and aircraft projects with over 180 color photographs plus 120 b/w photographs.
"There's been a renaissance. A re-birth of interest in the art of metal shaping. Twenty years ago there were only a handful of men and women with the skill to make a fender or a complete motorcycle gas tank. Not very many people knew how and not very many were trying to learn. Metal shaping was seen as a black art, something that some people, old-world types especially, simply "knew" how to do.
The situation today couldn't be more different. Not only are people eager to learn, they have a variety of tools to do so. Classes are offered by Ron Covell, Fay Butler and Ron Fournier to mention only three, that range from beginning to advanced metal working. Videos, often from the same craftsmen, cover every metal working topic imaginable. The thirst for knowledge is intense and shows no sign of letting up.
And it's that thirst for knowledge that best describes the reason we assembled this new book. Our other fabrication book, Sheet Metal Fabrication, could be called Sheet Metal Work 101. Though some of the sequences in that book used power tools, the emphasis is on hand work and the basics of metal shaping.
Because that book was well received we now bring you Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication. No longer a "101" or introductory book, Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication brings you projects that are, well, more advanced.
Instead of a single shape made from one piece of aluminum or steel, this book involves the fabrication of fenders and gas tanks made up of multiple panels, each of which must be shaped before being welded to the others to create a whole.
Another important part of fabricating more complex shapes is the use of a buck. The Craig Naff and Rob Roehl projects included here include the fabrication of multi-piece projects - built with the aid of a elaborate buck.
Think of this new book as a documentary, documenting six projects from the paper drawing to the metal finishing. All performed by craftsmen with over a century of collective experience. What you have in your hands is another tool. The rest is up to you.
The story was told to me years ago that when they made plans to renovate the Statue of Liberty they needed seven sheet metal craftsmen with the skills to recreate many of the Lady's exterior panels. Skilled workers were so few and far between in this country that four of the seven had to come from Europe. I'd like to think that if that same project were undertaken today, all seven could be easily found in the US of A. Now there's something we can all be proud of."
