| Dear ASD,
Whether you're tuning an engine or doing some bodywork on your favorite set of wheels, the books in our Workshop Series are tools that can be just as useful as your best set of wrenches. |
 Our latest Workshop title, Professional Sheet Metal Fabrication, is 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 genuine sheet metal fabrication education program in the country-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.
The book features clear directions for using power and pneumatic hammers and the English wheel, and describes specific skills like hand-forming techniques, buck building, louver punching, edge finishing, and more. You will learn how to form door seams and to make fenders, hoods, and other body parts; you'll also learn how to put various finishes on metal through engine turning, metal chasing, and laser processing. This is truly the most detailed enthusiast-focused sheet metal how-to book on the market: whether you're a metal hobbyist or experienced professional, you're sure to find something new!
