Starting with the machine's history and a clear explanation of the principles that enable the machine to move metal, Ron shows the basic 'tracking' patterns that are used to shape panels of various sizes and configurations. In addition to the common techniques of wheeling, Ron also shows some lesser-known processes, such as using a rubber top wheel, and doing embossing with the machine. Whether you're brand-new to the English Wheel or an experienced user, you'll find valuable information in this video. https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cinevee.com/covell/item/80/81_source_L3.m4v https://covell.cinevee.com/gallery 40.00 no https://covell.cinevee.com/hammerforming-techniques Hammerforming Techniques - Two of the best-known names in metalshaping have teamed up to teach you the in's and out's of the hammerforming process. Hammerforms 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 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. This video has striking close-up shots that bring you close to the action, and clear descriptions of all aspects of the hammerforming process.  https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cinevee.com/covell/item/22/23_source_L3.m4v https://covell.cinevee.com/gallery 40.00 no https://covell.cinevee.com/high-power-metalshaping-workshop High-Power Metalshaping Workshop - Craig Naff is one of the top metalworkers in the nation, with milestone projects such as Cadzilla, The Smoothster, SmoothNess, and The Golden Submarine to his credit. This program was shot during a workshop, where Craig demonstrated the fastest techniques known for shaping custom sheet metal panels. You'll see how the Yoder Power Hammer, the Eckold machine, the Pullmax, and the Planishing Hammer each have a role in rapidly and accurately shaping metal. You'll watch Craig make the two most difficult sections of a 1932 Ford front fender, explaining why he selects each machine, and how his customized tooling enables him to move the metal rapidly and efficiently.
