Sheet Metal Shaping: Tools, Skills, and Projects (Motorbooks Workshop)

One of the best metal shaping books I’ve ever seen. Super dense and full of practical information and skill building practice projects.

This is Ed Barr's second book and just as informative as his first, and his humor is outstanding!!!! You will learn many tricks that will take the mystery out of working with sheetmetal and give you confidence to tackle projects you have only looked at. Ed teaches you how to do the job without all the expensive equipment you might see in a professional shop, allowing us to afford to do things in our garages.

If you have an interest in learning how to work with metal this is a great book. You will see and receive explanations for techniques that are only attained through many years of practice. I had the opportunity to take summer class at McPherson college where Ed Barr teaches metal shaping and these are the techniques that are taught there. I loved the class and love the book!

This book is way smarter than I am...but I'm learning. Lots of great information that's well presented. Someday I'd like to be as good at forming metal as the people featured in this book are.

My husband is building a hotrod. He got this to help him make body and parts repairs. He says he likes it.

We do partial and full car restoration here and the book, just as the first volume, is loaded with techniques and tricks of the trade. If you do any metal work, patch panels, metal repair, etc, this is a treasure trove

Must have resource for any metal working endeavor, whether professional or hobbyist. Ed has so much knowledge and we are very lucky that he has committed the time to document his life long learnings.

A must have. It's the best book for beginners and experienced. Well written great explanations. A must have book if yo want to shape metal.
