Sheet Metal Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Order This Book!
Review: I found this book the very best covering creating complex metal forms out of flat metal sheet. Anyone interestaed in forming unique parts or limited series sheet metal products will find a wealth of information. Anybody interested in Aircraft construction and repair, automotive prototypes, racing cars and compond-curve fabrication will find this book of extreme interest.

Did you ever wonder how those beautiful streamlined surfaces on boats, yachts, aircraft and racing cars are made today? There are two possible answers: fiberglass or sheet metal. I can guarantee that skilled craftsmen can produce those beautiful forms, faster, stronger and cheaper with metal than with fiberglass!

Summary: Best book for beginner
Review: I only have a few metal working tools in my garage but I enjoy the craft and I have spent quite a bit of time learning the tricks. This is the best book I have found on sheet metal. I picked up a lot of tricks and techniques that I have not found in any other book. Get this book before you tackle that next project, you will be glad you did!

Review: this book reviews restoration of automobiles more that actual manufacturing related sheet metal forming. The title is a little misleading.

Summary: A must if you are interested in hand metal fabriction
Review: This is a book which will explain you the techniques of building "one of a type" metal shaping techniques most people think are done in big presses.. sorry this is not the case, prototypes and many aircraft parts are still made today with the techniques shown in this excellent book... an excellent primer!
