A new bee to your channel but already hooked. Like the pace of editing and camera work you can really see what and how your shaping the metal, but then when some one is really good it looks so easy and its not.

Thanks Russell really appreciate your comment 👍

Thanks for the tip about oiling the rollers and keeping the panel moving to make the curve. I have struggled in the past with curves like that with a changing radius for the aluminium bonnet on my Austin 7. I was forming it over my MIG welding gas bottle as my rollers are only 600mm long so not wide enough. I think I spent more time trying to get the shape right than doing the integral hinges with the lower bonnet sides which is a bugger of a fiddly job!

I’ve used a mug bottle too on other jobs 😂 yes hinges can be a bugger to get right!

Well done, great job

Tom, Thank you for uploading these videos and showing the tips & tricks for metal shaping, I really like the way you explain what your doing and why you do it a certain way to achieve the best results rather than seeing the start and then finished panel. Now I have a TIG welder setup alloy shaping is something I might tackle, Your never too old to learn lol. Cheers Dave

When you see the guys in the Morgan factory bending over the flange on the corner, they apply soap and heat anneal the part first. Nice to watch it being done cold.

Thanks . When I worked there I never seen that method being used on this type of flange.

Interesting stuff. I just don’t get why you would use that method if it’s not needed and you can do it cold, also. Why you would add all that heat to a flat panel with a risk of distortion. I’ll try and find the program so I can see what you mean.

@@Metal_shaper_tom It was just on the shoulder of the bend on the flange. I remember trying to look up what type of soap it was, though since forgotten, not something I'd ever need. Our metal shaping is considreably simpler!

A brilliant episode. It was good to see how you did the wired edge

Thanks Peter. If you want to see a better video on this I do have a separate video on doing a wired edge that I go into more detail.

Hi Tom, Some day I may get to try working with aluminum/aluminium but it will have to be a special project as everything I work on is steel. Not many ally bodies around this part of the world. That being said.. it's always a treat to watch you work. Thanks for the video, Joe

Tom, yet another fabulous demonstration of real Craftsmanship. Personally I would have loved to see a little more information relating to the panel intersections and their fitment also a recap on how to do the wired edge. A couple of questions I have are; what is the diameter of your pipe roller (and is it an important aspect in rolling the radius of the panel?) also are you using some particular kind of oil on the roller? Much love and made respect from Loretto, Tennessee via Bristol, England. I'm really looking forward to the next episode of this build!

@@davidbroadfoot8834 ah yes .No it’s not important as you see in the next video where I shape the scuttle panel on the same rollers. It all about keeping the panel moving and the pressure you apply.

I may have asked you before Iam not sure but Iam restoring a 1955 TR3 and it has some ash framing in it and it is in good condition but Its real dry Iam wondering what to use as in some kind of oil to give it help.

linseed oil is the classic one to use. polymerized if you can find it (non toxic, quick drying), otherwise boiled - though this has potentially nasty chemical drying additives. don't use raw, it will never dry.
