An interesting bit of metal bashing...

I tend to avoid garage videos from the USA - usually they have constant blaring heavy metal music in the background - but this guy is really interesting. He demonstrates how to form a panel with only hand tools (no english wheel, shrinker, etc). He goes through the process, makes mistakes and fixes them, and so on.

There is a chap called Ron Covell who is really talented and very subtle in his presentation - no music either

I've seen him working with aluminium - very interesting - but this man's doing it with 1mm steel sheet!

Obviously there's so much more skill involved but I just have a mental image of me rage-beating sheet metal until it accepts defeat. FOLD ROUND THE DAMN CORNER <SMACK>....

I love watching someone working with a proper English wheel and similar, that's quite cathartic.
