Shaping Aluminum with Hand Tools (DVD)
Ron Covell'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!

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING!! If
you are going to buy more than one item from Artisan Ideas, we will
combine them in the same pack to save you money on postage or shipping.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO:
If you, as a buyer, are not sure how to combine items yourself when
placing an order (honestly, it’s not as easy to do as it could be), we
will gladly do it for you.
Simply order the items you want but do NOT pay for them immediately. We will combine them on the same invoice and send it to you with the correct postage or UPS shipping amount.
TELL US BY E-MAIL IF YOU WANT TO USE STANDARD MAIL OR UPS:
Standard Mail (aka Media Mail) is more economic but slower, taking
sometimes up to 3 weeks, but usually only 2 or less. UPS (domestic
orders only) is faster but more expensive. For domestic orders, please
tell us your shipping preference by e-mail right after you order (that
is, whether you prefer delivery by standard mail or UPS).
We recommend UPS for orders you want in 7 business days (sometimes less) and for orders worth more than $120.00.
FOREIGN ORDERS: For foreign orders
we use either Global Priority Envelopes for small books and DVDs, or
Global Priority Boxes for larger books and mixed orders. We will
measure and weigh your order to determine if we must ship in an
envelope or box. For foreign orders it is not necessary for you to
contact us about a shipping preference. Use the same procedure as
above; order first and pay after you receive our invoice. Thanks!!
CONTACT ME: Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and also to tell me your shipping preference. I’m Jim, the owner of ArtisanIdeas.
