Basic Techniques for Working With Steel

Panel Beating Metal fabrication education

Overview

This is probably the most comprehensive metalworking video to date: Ron Covell thoroughly demonstrates basic hammer and dolly techniques, and shows how to do the kind of high-level metalwork that requires no filler. He starts with a 1932 Morgan in very bad condition, and goes through every step of perfectly restoring the body getting the metal straight enough so that no filler is required. You'll see great coverage of TIG welding, metal finishing, heat-shrinking, hole filling, repairing wired edges, repairing rust damage, plus making patch panels and fitting them properly. You'll see how top-quality metalwork can be done with very simple tools!
