Thanks guys! Rich, we had eight students, the aluminum was 3003 half hard, .060 thick used on the hood..


The final two days of the Maryland Tommasini Metalshaping Class. We had two stumps that we gave to students to take home, here is the final version carved....

I had some requests to show the mammoth sand bag with the loose cover removed... It saw quite a bit of use and came in handy!





More repair parts were made for the 37 Dodge doors...




















The crease or "swage" at the top center of the hood was difficult to locate through the paper pattern.





So the upper and lower "crease" was highlighted by using fineline tape alongside. Then a pencil was used on the outside of the paper pattern, which now showed the location. Better shown here:

The halves still need to be welded together using O/A.


Two of the ball glove pounding pads were put into service for metalshaping, one using shot, the other using sand..





Peter showed lead loading method for aluminum...
