spectrum Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm looking at upskilling my sheetmetalwork skills. I can already do basic stuff from when I did my aircraft apprenticeship (although a bit of a refresher is always good). Can anyone recommend any good books / dvd's on the subject ? I'm particularly looking at hand forming petrol tanks and panels / mudgaurds for bikes and classic car panels. Also books or computer programmes for draughting drawings.

Damnthistinleg Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Have you considered an adult evening class? You'll get to use all the right (expensive) gear and have expert guidance on hand for very little outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yep, 1st thing I considered. Unfortunately they are a thing of the past here since the subsidies where stopped the colleges have stopped running them. I AM looking at joining local vintage car club they have a few old boys there that do stuff and also a workshop with folders and wheels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
