Use, tune up, and modification to the Lancaster shrinking machines are demonstrated in depth in the first part, and then the use of form blocks is covered in detail, handworking inside and outside curved flanges on various sheets such as aluminum, stainless, copper, magnesium, and titanium. A short section on shrinking a large dent out of a flat steel sheet is also included. The Experimental Aircraft Association gives this video four stars. .

I want to let you know how much I enjoyed the shrinking magic video. I learned quite a bit about why metals behave like they do during the shrinking and stretching process. I am in the middle of restoring a couple of John Deere tractors and a 1933 Ford pickup, and Kent's techniques will come in quite handy.
Thank you for providing this rental service.
Shrinking Magic is basic in the techniques used to shrink metal with heat being the basic tool. As is the case with most instructional videos there are tips that will prove useful.
Stretching metal is easy to do. Shrinking metal gets tricky but you have to learn how to shrink metal if you want to shape body parts. This DVD does have some good info on it and it is worth renting. It's not going to answer all your questions about shrinking metal but you will learn a few things with this DVD. Paul
Lot of good info- I especially liked the dent removal info
