• Not Much New Here. 05 August, 2007
If you've bought a few metalworking books you don't need this one.
I was disappointed -- expected more than was given, especially on the english wheel topic.
This book read more like a press release than a how to.

• Watch Two Biker Build Offs On Tlc You Will Learn More 11 August, 2005
about metal working than this terribly mis-titled book. Read the other low rated reviews. They cover the problems well enough. Only thing I can figure is all the 5 star reviews are friends of the author or something.
One guy mentions how much he learns about metal shrinking. My question is how? It is mentioned many times. In one place they have a photo caption saying heat shrinking works by heating a spot and then blasting with air to quick cool it. As for mechanical shrinkers, they never tell you how they work. Or give any info on how to figure out how much or how to really shrink metal. You will learn it can be shrunk and pretty much nothing else.
For someone wanting to learn metal work, it isn't useless. It is pretty close to it. You honestly can learn more by watching some Biker Build Offs as metal is worked in the background. I haven't been this disappointed in a book in many years.

• Ultimate Sheet Metal Fabrication 31 August, 2005
Very good for the novice sheet metal worker. Good explanations on the how's and why's of sheet metal work. Great interviews with professional mechanics. Pictures also help alot, as the task is explained the reader can see the before and after of a given project. Looking forward to my first project.

• Fanatastic Overview 19 January, 2003
This book and the author not only answered the questions that no other books on metal shaping could, but it also draws upon interviews and information from renowned masters. It touches the heart and soul of the revival that is occurring in metal shaping and discusses all (English Wheel, air/power hammers, etc.) of the fancy and wonderful tools while showing you how these techniques can all be done with nothing more than patience, skill, a hammer or two and a tree stump. For the price, this book can't be beat! The only improvement I would ask for in the next printing is a more complete index but I plan to read this book enough times that I won't even need it.
