Sheet Metal Fabrication - Techniques and Tips for Beginners and Pros

Dans notre époque mécanisée de production de masse, l'art de façonner à la main la tôle en courbes composées et en ailerons et pare-chocs audacieux est en train de devenir un art perdu. Eddie Paul est un maître dans la fabrication de tôles (parmi d'autres réalisations), et dans ce livre, il donne aux lecteurs les moyens de créer leurs propres œuvres en tôle.

Le livre de Paul, agréablement écrit, parle des outils nécessaires et de leur utilisation ; de la manière de choisir, préparer et travailler avec le bon matériau ; de la façon de réaliser des formes et des maquettes, et bien plus encore. Que vous souhaitiez façonner un pare-chocs pour une voiture personnalisée ou simplement en apprendre davantage sur ce processus fascinant, La fabrication de tôles est un livre de référence et un guide entièrement lisible.

Professional Sheet Metal Fabrication

The number-one resource for sheet metal workers old and new. Join veteran metalworker Ed Barr as he walks you through the ins and outs of planning a sheet metal project, acquiring the necessary tools and resources, doing the work, and adding the perfect finishing touches for a seamless final product.

From his workshop at McPherson College - home of the only accredited four-year degree in automotive restoration technology - Barr not only demonstrates how the latest tools and products work, but also explains why sheet metal reacts the way it does to a wide variety of processes.

He includes clear directions for shaping metal using hand tools, the English Wheel, the pneumatic planishing hammer, and other machines, and discusses a variety of ways to cut and join metal through welding, soldering, brazing, and riveting.

Dent repair and automotive patch panel fabrication are covered in detail. Readers are also given tips on copying shapes and building foam, wire, and wood station bucks to use as guides during shaping.
This is truly the most detailed enthusiast-focused sheet metal how-to book on the market.

Automotive Sheet Metal Forming & Fabrication

Sheet metal forming and fabrication is an essential automotive art. Creating door skins, fenders, hoods, and a myriad of other components from sheetmetal is a crucial skill for restoring many muscle cars, building custom parts for hot rods, and fabricating parts for classic or competition cars.
While many specialized and expensive tools are used to form sheet metal into a functional and finished part, simple metal working hammers, dollies, anvils, and shot bags can be used to create parts with complex curves and crowns.

This book shows the inclined enthusiast how to design and fabricate with inexpensive and simple tools as well as how to fabricate parts using more specialized tools, such as an English wheel.
It provides the know-how for people who are working, or want to work, along the nearly endless learning curve of this craft. It instructs in most of the common processes and operations in sheet metal fabrication work.
This volume shows novice metal workers how to apply force and use fine judgment, and through close observation, creativity, ingenuity, and restraint, create almost any metal part.

Wire welders, metal shears and brakes, planishing hammers, and shrinker/stretchers are readily available and affordable, and therefore, metal forming is no longer the exclusive art of professional craftsmen. In turn, simple to more complex fabrication and metal forming tasks are within the reach of adept enthusiasts, and this book comprehensively explains how to accomplish these fun and satisfying tasks.
Enthusiasts are shown how to work steel, aluminum, and some other metals, and how to select a metal for a particular part fabrication.

This book also discusses how to determine elastic limits as well as how to shrink and expand metal, heating and annealing, and may other metal working techniques.

Power Hammers - Using the Ultimate Sheet Metal Fabrication Tool

Previously the domain of large factories and certain old-school fabricators, power hammers are now available to hot rodders and collector-car restoration shops. As more and more fabricators consider the purchase of a power hammer there comes the need for a book explaining which hammer to buy and how best to use this fabricator's super tool.

If it takes two hours to make a quarter panel for a Ferrari on an English Wheel, the same panel can be crafted on a power hammer in less than 30 minutes by a fabricator with a good working knowledge of this reborn technology.

Author Longyard includes detailed step-by-step photos of well-trained and well-known craftsmen working with both steel and aluminum. He takes each project from the first planning session to the finished piece.
The projects include both shrinking and stretching, plus the why and how of using a buck to guarantee accuracy.
