If the "owner" is foolish enough to take this to Wal-Mart, one of us needs to go take it away from him/her!

Little story. I was out in my 38 Chevy and wife called can you get me some bla bla bla at the store. Trying to be a nice guy I said sure. I went to a I think Kmart. I parked 2 football fields away from anyone else NOT a car any where. When I came out there were cars on both sides of me. Not a scratch but I was really P/Oed. Never againCharlie
Lovin' what I do and doing what I love
Some guys can fix broken NO ONE can fix STUPID

Thanks! Here's our paint sample with some sunlight added. The incremental lines to make the radius really show up, but quite a bit of pop in the sunlight..

Sorry for the lack of posts on shop projects, we've been cleaning the shop for the 2016 MD Tommasini Metalshaping Class. Here is a new sand bag we made up for the class, made from a full cow hide, it measures 40" x 24" x 4" high. We had some loose leather left over, so the top was wrapped to provide additional protection from any sharp metal... This uses just over four 5 gallon buckets of saved blast media to fill the bag, so we don't need any holes letting all that pour out on the floor!
Some of the projects include duplicating these repro BMW saddlebags in aluminum, and this Mopar hood in aluminum......
Here Peter shows using the stump for tuck shrinking
Here Peter modifies the heel of a ball peen hammer for less marking while tuck shrinking...
Here it is in use....

Duplicating the hood....
A local source was used to CNC a template for bead detail on some Model A p/u bedsides....
Bead added....
Motion picture version:

Close-ups of the results...
1937 Dodge coupe door repairs... the lower inner and lower door skins are fabricated...
A complex architectural piece that was shrunk, stretched, planished, and reverses added, all with the same hammer...
Saddle bags in process...

after wheeling...
Some other efforts of shrinking, blocking, and planishing in making a fender profile and rear corner of a T-bucket in aluminum...

Have you ever heard the phrase, "It makes my back hurt just looking at it"?
Lots of amazing stuff there, but I doubt I could stand there and beat on it that long..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Wow, great stuff!! Hard to believe how smooth that beading process is, a testament to your dies. What gauge was the
the alum for the hood, and how many in the class?
