Two of the best-known names in metalshaping, Ron Covell and Ron Fournier, 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 in this video, 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.
