Shaping Aluminum

...with Ron Covell

Sheetmetal how-to video: Shaping Aluminum by Ron Covell 5_bulb Review this video!

Ron's first video, now considered a classic. Watch Ron go through every step of making a track roadster nose, demonstrating techniques suitable for making virtually any body panel. He starts with a station buck defining the shape, shows clearly how the patterns are made, then starts shaping each piece and finally joins them together. Annealing, mallet and sandbag rough shaping, hammer and dolly smoothing, metal finishing, and both oxy-acetylene and TIG welding are covered in depth. If you've never seen metal shaped by hand, you may be astounded how simple the process is!

(about 105 minutes)

Very good video. Ron Covell is one of the best metalshapers around and shares his methods in a easy to understand manner.

Very Informative, I followed the procedure as outlined in the video. Learned a lot. Only downside is, the host could act like he is a little more interested in what he is doing, but other than that, a good self help video.

I've rented many videos from you and this is the best one I have seen. Ron does a great job, and I can't wait to get the one on working with steel. Ted Cary
